Headphones To Help Make Learning Fun!

Help me give my students headphones to use with the technology in our classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gilbert's classroom raised $158

My Students

The 12 students in my third/fourth grade self-contained classroom are enthusiastic about learning and exploring the world. Not only do they look forward to my instruction, they anticipate the rich knowledge they collectively bring to the classroom. They motivate one another with their supportive words and generosity.

It is important that my students receive the best educational experience in an environment that fosters creativity, supports all learning needs and sustains their overall well-being.

My students are a diverse group. They have a range of academic and emotional needs.

My Project

My project is to provide my students with headphones so they can access school programs (MyOn, iReady, Mathletics, etc) on Ipads and desktop computers during the school day. Students are required to access these programs for a minimum of 45 minutes a week. However, it is difficult for students to focus on their assignments (most of which require attentive listening skills) when they can hear what their classmates are working on.

My students would benefit from having their very own pair of headphones, which would not only drastically reduce distractions, but greatly aid in their academic success.

Currently, my 12 students share 2 headphones.
