Independent Work Time Helps Me Shine!

Help me give my students headphones to be able to hear online learning programs while at independent work stations and laminating pouches.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Childs's classroom raised $278

This project is fully funded

My Project

I would love for each student to have a pair of headphones for them to use during small group time. I am certain it will help increase time on task, their focus, and their growth. These headphones will benefit not just the students, but also me. Having a dependable pair of headphones for each student will increase time on task for everyone. Too much of the designated computer time is taken up by seeing which headphones work, and figuring out how to spread around for a group of students to work on technology. Additionally, laminated materials are essential to use for small group instruction. I will be able to preserve materials so that they can last for the entire school year.
