Help Us Hear!

Help me give my students the earbuds and cases they need to hear their computers clearly and keep the earbuds safe!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lewis's classroom raised $207

My Project

I teach 4th grade ELA & social studies in a Title 1 school/district. My students are awesome and work hard, but it's difficult to complete some assignments because of the noise from all of the Chromebooks.

Please help us cut through the cacophony of noise so great learning can happen!

These earbuds and cases will allow the students to hear what they need and drown out what they don't so the time spent on the computer is helpful and productive. I've added some headphones for general classroom use for those students who have problems using earbuds. They need and deserve the chance to do and be he best they can! Please help us get there!
