My Project

The kindergarten classroom is a busy place. Students work in small groups and independently during times.

These high-quality headsets will help my students to stay focused while working on literacy and math programs.

Many of our current headsets are broken, and ill-fitting. Because we no longer have enough working headsets in our classroom students are forced to work without them which is often distracting to them and those around them. Headsets help them focus on the task at hand while not being bothered by headphones that are broken or don't fit.
