My Project

My third graders are a kind, hardworking group and are always excited about trying new programs . Several of them do not have the financial ability to purchase quality headphones for the many listening activities we do online. We do many learning games with music, listen to books online, and have English Language Learners that benefit from clear pronunciations when listening to phonetic programs. In order to participate with others in games, coding, and testing, they require the appropriate equipment.

By purchasing these headphones, these enthusiastic young learners will be able to participate like the rest of the class.

Much of their stress will be reduced during testing which is already stressful.

Thank you for your support!
