My Project

Most of my students started the year off with headphones with microphones that parents were asked to buy with the class supplies list. However, some students never brought them in either because the parents did not have a chance or they could not afford them. To get these students headphones, my co-teacher and I spent our own money at first to get them, so every child had their own because we needed to be careful about the students getting sick coming out of Covid. Using online platforms to learn math is an amazing tool, however, students need to have headphones to be successful with these programs. Teaching students with computers is very hard when students don't have headphones and they not only need headphones but they also need microphones which are more expensive.

By giving my students new headphones with microphones, you are ensuring that they will have a successful way of learning online with the materials that they need.

My students want to do well and learn but they need the right tools to be able to do that. In order to better meet the needs of our students, my coteachers and I put the students into four groups and each child meets with a teacher for small group and whole students are meeting with the teachers, other students are learning online. We have found this model to be the most effective and efficient way of teaching. Please help my students have headphones so that they can learn and do well this year.
