Headphones Will Help My Students Succeed!

Help me give my students headphones so they can complete the online assignments and block out excessive noise.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Olds's classroom raised $170

My Project

I am requesting headphones to help my students succeed. As a Title I school we have very large class sizes, at least 30 students per class. This alone makes it difficult to concentrate. The headphones with allow the students to not only complete their online assignments, but also to lessen the noise of the room.

The headphones will allow for greater success both academically and emotionally.

Students are assigned a variety of online assignments that require them to hear what the computer is saying. The headphones will allow them to be successful because they will no longer have to struggle with what is being said. The headphones will allow the students to hear the information, as well as block out any excess noise.
