My Project

In a kindergarten classroom, every word counts. My young learners are at a critical stage in developing their listening, speaking, and language skills. With the use of technology becoming more integrated in early education, students need high-quality headphones with microphones to fully participate in interactive lessons, reading programs, language development apps, and speech activities.

Many of my students are still learning to focus and process language, and background noise can be a huge barrier.

Headphones help them concentrate on their learning without distractions. Microphones are just as essential—they give students the ability to practice speaking clearly, respond to prompts, and record their voices, helping them build confidence and communication skills.

For some of my students, especially English language learners or those with speech and language delays, these tools are not just helpful—they're essential for success.

By funding this project, you’ll be giving each child a stronger voice and a clearer path to learning. Your support will help create a focused, inclusive, and interactive classroom where every child can thrive.
