My Project

The headphones I’m requesting will make a huge difference by helping my students focus in a noisy classroom. With many students working on different activities and using technology, having their own pair of headphones will allow them to hear lessons clearly and stay on task. This will reduce distractions and help them fully engage with interactive lessons, educational videos, and online activities. The ability to focus and access content at their own pace will make a big impact on their learning and success.

The use of headphones engages and empowers learners.

With these headphones, my students will be able to listen to lessons, videos, and assignments in a focused way. They will need them for online assessments too. This will allow them to work independently, improving both their academic skills and confidence. I want to give them the tools they need to succeed and make learning more accessible for every student in my class.

My students are special because they are kind, eager, and determined to learn despite the challenges they face. Many of them come from low-income families and cannot afford things like headphones, yet they always show up with a positive attitude and a strong desire to succeed. They support each other and are resilient, which makes me so proud to be their teacher. These headphones will help them take the next step in their educational journey and feel more confident in their abilities.

My students need headphones that are comfortable and durable for daily use. In our classroom, we use headphones daily. My goal for this project is to ensure my students can learn without distractions, using technology to its fullest potential.
