My Students

I have a group of caring third graders who love to learn and explore the world with each other. This is my first year of teaching and the pandemic doesn't help make this journey any easier, but I would love support to help my students know how much they are loved and cared for.

My Project

I am requesting a reliable set of headphones so my students can engage in our Zoom meetings! My students amaze me each and everyday. Half of my class are remote learners and the other half are onsite learners, so my students Zoom quite a bit in my classroom. The issue I'm finding is that many of my students don't have headphones which can cause feedback and frustration to all involved. Some of my students have dollar store earbuds and through the wear and tear of third graders, they often do not last long. Some students are jealous of other students' headphones, while others do not have a pair; I would love to provide each student with the same headphones.
