My Project

Returning to school from remote learning has been stressful for our students because of different academic levels and differentiation. The ability to meet every student's need is difficult given our current funding structure. One major hurdle has been exposing our students to grade level readings and having them comprehend. This year we are lucky enough to have all students 1-1 with computers with reading technology.

Since returning to in-person instruction, students are self-conscious of listening to the readings on speaker.

We are requesting a class set of headphones and a pocket chart for storage for each of our 8th grade enrichment classes.

Headphones will allow students to be more comfortable and give true equity in reading! Please help us build our reading fluency through visual and oral skills.
