Hear All About It

Help me give my students new headphones for independent and small group work and obtain a goal together.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kerns's classroom raised $229

My Project

Please consider donating to my class. I am looking for help in purchasing some new items for my classroom. I am looking to get new headphones for my class to use during centers so they can all listen and work quietly. Student headphones have been getting broken so having a quiet classroom to work independently has been harder as students cannot hear what they are doing in class or small group. This is causing them to become frustrated. I am also looking to do a class incentive of earning a jar full of cookies to earn a prize or some free choice time.

Having a class set of headphones would be beneficial to my entire class, as it would allow for more quiet independent work, while I work with a small group.

Having a class incentive, something they can see will be helpful in allowing the class to see a goal that they need to reach.
