Help me give my students headphones for the classroom. Headphones are a very important resource for each and every classroom. Because we use so much technology we often wear headphones in our classroom for various learning experiences.

My Students
My students are always the first set of smiles that I see walking towards me and are always eager to get to school in the morning. They come in with the willingness to work hard and an enthusiasm for learning.
School should not just be a place for my students to learn about academics, but to learn about themselves.
I work in a school that has a high level of poverty. Eighty-five percent of the students in my school receive free or reduced-price breakfast or lunch. Most of my students come from a background of trauma and require not only academic support but social and emotional support throughout the day. My goal is to make their school experience meaningful and fun while also setting high expectations for all of my students.
I want to prepare them for the next steps in their lives and also teach them that anything is possible if they set their mind to it and work hard!
My Project
Unfortunately quality headphones are hard to find and are often expensive. Year after year I end up buying my students earbuds that only last a month or two.
When we are able to use headphones students can participate in differentiated learning without distractions from one another.
This project will provide all of my students with durable headphones. Because of Covid-19, my students are no longer be able to share headphones and need their own. Many students cannot afford their own headphones, and this project will allow my students to have one of their own. This will allow my students to focus on their work without distractions from their classmates' computers.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
