Help me give my students noise-canceling headphones while learning remotely from home! Often times my special needs students are distracted by the noises around them. Your small donation will help alleviate that problem by providing noise-canceling headsets.
Nelson Mandela said it best "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."
I'm lucky enough to teach Science in a Title 1 Middle School in the Bronx.
I work in a school where the majority of students live below the poverty line. My students are funny, kind , thoughtful and are all eager learners. I am always looking for ways to provide my students with meaningful learning experiences.
My students need access to the scientific knowledge and experiences that will prepare them for science classes in high school, be accepted into top universities, and contribute to the scientific discoveries of the future.
My Project
My Students
My students are 6th through 8th grade special needs children that would greatly benefit from generous donors.
The majority of my students have emotional and behavioral disabilities. I love that my students are eager to learn and always want to do their best. At times they may become frustrated and disengaged because of anxiety, which leads to them struggling with their academics.
My Project
The use of headsets is a daily activity in my classroom, especially now with virtual learning. Using the headsets, students come together virtually for guided practice and to understand modeled strategies. The headsets allow them to hear exactly what they need to do, as well as provide an easy source for them to listen and share their work. What becomes a problem is the fact that the headsets they currently have never seem to last, some seem to disappear, and others slowly become worn out from frequent use. When something goes awry, students know that they must let the teachers know through the headsets to get assistance. Even though they are great about doing this, it is distracting for many of my students who have focusing issues and they miss important instruction from either myself or other students. By having headsets available, students will be able to avoid all of these problems and focus on the tasks at hand.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
