Headphones Needed Badly!

My students need good quality headphones that they can use consistently. We have nice Chromebooks but we just don't have a nice headset for the kids. It makes all the difference in the word.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Curley's classroom raised $726

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My Students amazing and able minded students. Having nice quality headsets is important and will prove the experience.

A typical day in my classroom very busy to say the least.

When the students have the chance to get on the computers there's a lot of confusion because certain students don't have working headphones and the cheap dollar store headphones just don't work anymore. These headphones would really transcend the classroom. Each day the students are on the computer the kids are working, watching videos about educational information and writing about important things. The kids aren't able to hear the sounds and get distracted because their headphones don't work. Cheap headphones are just not durable so these are a lot more durable and a lot more lasting.

My Project

We were very lucky to have Chromebooks for every student. We were able to develop different patterns of learning that really took the kids to different educational places around the world. Students are able to get into science videos and able to find different things that are interesting and write about them. Being able to hear sounds clearly makes all the difference in the world. It really gives the Chromebook a lot more satisfaction to the students.

Our project is to use the headphones when the kids are able to go to different videos, different webinars, and different Google Classroom sites.

These headphones are needed because they're so valuable for everyday use in the classroom and are also long lasting.
