Help me give my students these Noot headphones so students have a comfortable, quality option to help them with state testing and academic computer applications.
The 8-9 year-olds in my classroom love to learn and work together to discover new things every day. We have a strong focus on inquiry-based learning. My students have a growth mindset, knowing they must take risks and try new things. We "fail forward" in our classroom, learning and growing from our successes and failures alike.
My students are highly inquisitive and love learning new things.
They are highly curious and enjoy hands-on discovery learning. They love building, exploring, creating and sharing what they learn with others. My students love "Genius Hour" where they choose a topic of interest to them, research that topic, and then share what they've learned with the class.
My students are refining their reading skills. I have students at all reading levels, from beginning readers to strong readers, all working on improving their reading skills. We are at the crucial stage where we transition from learning to read to reading to learn.
My Project
By this time of year many of my students have lost or broken the cheap headphones they brought from home. I have collected ear buds for students to use when needed, but they are very uncomfortable for the students. Too often, students choose to not use headphones when testing or working in academic apps. This results in students missing valuable information and learning opportunities.
Having this supply of headphones for students to borrow when needed will help ensure that students are able to do their very best on state testing and when working with online math and reading instruction.
Many parts of our state testing allow (and require) students to listen to directions and hear questions read aloud to them. Without quality headphones, students miss out on information that can really help them do their best.
