Headphones for Little Ears!

Help me give my students their own headphones that will fit their little ears!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Alving's classroom raised $222

This project is fully funded

My Project

I have a wonderful group of Kindergarten and 1st grade special education students this year. They come to my class at very different learning levels. My students are very caring and love learning.

Headphones that fit are very important to the learning process.

These headphones are needed for various tasks in our classroom. Students use headphones when they are taking online assessments, and for daily use during reading and math.

We currently have headphones that do not fit little ears! My diverse learners are often frustrated when these fall off or don't fit right! These headphones would be very beneficial for daily classroom use.

Please help us to obtain a set of headphones made for little ears!
