Hears to Headphones

Help me give my students reliable headphones to use with their one to one devices. My students use their assigned iPads almost daily for supplemental math, phonics and reading apps.

My Project

I have a classroom full of amazing kindergarteners who use iPads for supplemental activities to support math, reading and phonics activities. There are a high number of students from at risk/poverty level families. Many have headphones that are not working properly or only have sound through one side. I would love to furnish them all with quality functioning headphones so they are able to just focus on the activities at hand. Letter sounds will be more clear, which will be very beneficial for kindergarten students strengthening their phonics skills! I can only imagine how excited they would all be to be presented with new headphones.
