My Project

With everything going on around them in a busy classroom of third graders, these noise canceling headphones will allow students to focus and not be distracted while completing independent and group work. Many students struggle social emotionally and these headphones will help all students be their best selves. I strive to always make sure that students have what they need to be successful and these noise canceling headphones will be just the ticket!These noise canceling headphones will allow each and every student in my classroom to have the ability to drown out what is going on around them and focus upon themselves.
