Helpful Headphones

Help me give my students their own pair of headphones.

My Project

Most of the headphones I have inherited are now broken. My class of new students would appreciate new headphones to start the year.

My goal is for each student to have their own working headphones without wasting valuable learning time looking for or waiting for working headphones.

The headphones are needed while students complete compute lessons using iReady Math and Lexia. Both programs use diagnostic assessments to differentiate learning for each student. Both programs interact with the students both visually and auditorily which require the use of headphones.

All or any monetary support would be appreciated.
