Helping Hands for Headphones: Support Our Students’ Learning

My Project

Help Us Hear and Learn! 🎧

Hello!

I'm a 4th grade teacher with a diverse group of learners, including several amazing ESL (English as a Second Language) students. One essential tool that helps them thrive is a good pair of headphones. Whether they’re listening to reading passages, practicing vocabulary, or using language apps, headphones are key to their success.

Unfortunately, most of the inexpensive headphones we’ve used are flimsy and break easily—often within just a few weeks of use. I’m hoping to provide my students with more secure, durable headphones that will last throughout multiple school years and support their learning every day.

Any donation you can make would go directly toward helping my students hear, focus, and grow. Thank you so much for your support! 💛
