Headphones Speak Volumes!

My Project

My second grade class continues to inspire and amaze me. We have such inquiring little minds however, due to the immense differences in my classroom abilities focus is a very big issue. Many of my students require read aloud assistance with their reading deficits and we did not receive earphones for our class this year. My families have fixed budgets and every penny counts. I would love to help my students focus and increase their reading lexile levels by having their own set of earphones. We only have 3 pairs of headphones currently and this would truly make a difference in our class. Thank you from each one of my students and one big thank you from me! We look forward to your response.
