Music to Their Ears

Help me give my students their own set of headphones for their chrome books

My Project

I have about 80 fifth and sixth graders in total. We switch classes four times a day. My students use their chrome books for all of their subjects. They love learning through electronic resources such as Edpuzzle, Iknowit, I-ready, Flocabulary, etc. These programs supplement my math lessons by providing on-level lessons. Students who are below level receive modified lessons that read to them, and students who are above level get higher order lessons that provide challenge and rigor.

Headphones would enhance my student's learning.

Although many of our lessons are online, students rarely bring headphones from home. I've tried to keep a few extra pairs in the classroom, but they never last long. Students often turn the volume down on their chrome books so that they can hear the lessons. Some students try to watch the lessons without any noise at all.

I am very passionate about my teaching career. I have spent some of my own money and have received donations from Donors Choose over the last few years. I believe that I am making a difference for my students in preparing them for their future. Your generosity would mean so much to me and my students. It would allow them to come to my class daily and have the headphones they need. This donation would support me in providing a safe and structured learning environment for everyone.
