Mr. Challand from Huntersville NC is requesting instructional technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Help My Students To Speak Up in Class

Help me give my students the Que Ball throwable microphone. Students often are afraid to speak and engage in class. The Que Ball is a device that can be tossed and encourages them to speak up and engage.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

I have great students who love to learn but may be challenged due to various home life situations. Our school has a great deal of lower-income students who are motivated to learn but may have difficulties with class supplies. For this reason, I am always looking for great people to help out.

On a daily basis, I see challenged students putting forth some amazing classwork.

The effort these wonderful students put forth while still struggling in some of their family lives makes me all the more eager to teach.

I cannot say it enough how amazing my students are. They come to school every day and often while struggling or hungry, they work through their learning and produce awesome learning products.

My Project

Many students are often afraid to speak up in class. This Que Ball throwable microphone can be tossed from one student to another and encourages them to engage in class discussions. The Que Ball projects students' voices through the speakers in the room so even the quietest students can easily be heard.

Students learn better when they speak up and engage.

I have been seeking this tool for my classroom for some time, however they tend to run out of supply quickly. These wonderful classroom tools are available once again and I pray this project will get funded soon.

Any assistance you could provide to my students would be amazing and very much welcomed.
