Ms. Sims from Philadelphia, PA is requesting instructional technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Our Room

Help me give my students a classroom where they can learn in comfort with headphones, speakers, and seating will allow the students to use the technology without being distracted.

My Project

The items I am requesting will significantly enhance my instructional program. Headphones will enable students to engage with individual intervention programs on the computer, minimizing distractions and helping them focus on their reading goals. Flexible seating will not only create a comfortable environment for students as they explore the diverse genres in the classroom library but also improve learning outcomes by accommodating various learning styles. With flexible seating, students can move around and select options that best fit their needs, fostering increased focus and collaboration. Additionally, a Bluetooth or wireless speaker will allow the teacher to stream audio lessons for the entire class. In summary, integrating headphones, speakers, and flexible seating will boost student engagement and elevate the quality of instruction. The MUUEGM Futon Sofa Bed Couch will provide my students with an alternative seating option.
