Headphones for 6th Graders

Help me give my students headphones and an organizer to access our online curriculum.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hicks's classroom raised $225

This project is fully funded

My Project

A large percentage of my teaching relies on computers. This requires each student to have his/her own set of headphones in order to maximize the concentration level within the classroom setting. I am requesting headphones and an organizer to access our online curriculum.

Many of my students come from low-income households and it is a great challenge for parents to provide supplies like headphones.

I've spent much of my own money on countless pairs of headphones for students so that they can use these tools to help them reach their maximum potential. Unfortunately, class sets of headphones can be very expensive and the ones I've been able to purchase break easily. I'm hoping with this DonorsChoose request for a reliable brand of headphones for teens, this will be the last set needed for years to come!
