How Can Students Learn if We Can't Hear Each Other?

Help me give my students good lessons by having a microphone and headphones!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kennedy's classroom raised $275

This project is fully funded

My Students

My kids come from a place where they have received very limited resources at home, and unfortunately at school too. They are not given the materials that are necessary for them to develop their minds to the full potential. These children are so talented and special, and just need to receive equitable opportunity that other schools get to reach their full potential.

We are working day in and day out to show these kids that they can learn and they will succeed!

My Project

Distance learning is going to be a huge change that we all will need to adjust to. With half the country working from home right now during this pandemic, there are many distractions. My students will struggle with learning in many ways virtually (learning how to read, understanding math problems/mistakes, etc.) They will need to communicate with me through the lessons, and I will need to communicate with them in order to help them the best I can!

These headphones will not only block out any noise around, but they will help me clearly hear my students AND have a high quality microphone to communicate with them.

My students deserve to receive equitable lessons; I have been working every day to get them supplies that will give them that (headphones, white boards, math manipulatives, clipboards, supplies). These headphones will complete the package for a setting ready for virtual learning!
