My students need headphones that don't tangle and break!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hoffman's classroom raised $361

This project is fully funded

My Students

My goal is to provide my students with the best educational experiences possible. I love spending time with my creative and caring kids!

My students come from a variety of backgrounds being from a lower income area.

Some of my children have had preschool while some have had no educational exposure at all. My goal is to provide my students with the best possible educational experiences.

My Project

My students use headphones daily to assist them in hearing others read. This is an important strategy that helps teach them how to read fluently as well as sound out words. They also use their headphones for educational games. Students are Online reading, exploring and solving math problems daily.

Right now we spend more time repairing the student's headphones than we do using them.

This donation would help cut down on the amount of time that we spend finding the ones that work and give us a greater opportunity to learn.
