Learn by Listening; Listening Is Key!

Help me give my students a quality learning experience with the materials needed to be successful such as bean bag chairs and headphones.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Clanton's classroom raised $306

My Project

During daily instruction in ELA, students will be using technology in class. By providing all 20 students with their own pair of headphones, they will be able to enhance their listening and comprehension skills by accessing videos and books on tapes for individual, group, and class assignments. It will also provide differentiation instruction to those students working in small groups. As headphones wear and tear, we need to supply new ones each year, for individual use. This will truly make a difference in class for all students. I want nothing but the best for them!
