“Help Us Tune In: Donate Headphones to Enhance Classroom Learning!”

Help me give my students Individualized instruction and assistive technology. Headphones are used for various reasons. My students need them to practice online math facts, listen to stories for ELA, and take school-wide assessments.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Trejo's classroom raised $270

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I teach 30 students in a resource classroom at a Title 1 school, and headphones are essential for enhancing their learning experience in numerous ways.

Headphones help students concentrate on online practice and other educational activities without distractions.

Headphones allow students to listen to stories and audio resources, fostering a love for learning.

Headphones in the classroom enhance learning by helping students focus on individual tasks, improve language skills, and engage with educational software. They are also used for listening centers, online assessments, and assistive technology, ensuring all students can access and benefit from auditory content effectively. The headphones will help with Individual Focus. Students can use headphones to concentrate on audio-based assignments without being distracted by background noise. They will be used for Language Learning. Headphones are crucial for listening to pronunciation and practice exercises. Many specialized software programs and apps include audio components that help students engage more deeply with the material. Students can also enjoy audiobooks or follow along with reading exercises. Classrooms use headphones during online assessments or standardized tests to ensure that audio instructions or questions are heard clearly. Headphones are an excellent tool to use for assistive technology. For students with hearing impairments or learning differences, headphones can be part of assistive technology that helps them access content more effectively. Providing headphones helps ensure all students can access the full range of auditory learning opportunities available in the classroom.

By providing these headphones, you’re directly supporting each student’s ability to learn and succeed. Thank you for your generosity!
