Please Help Us Stop The Noise: Headphones Desperately Needed!

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Brodus-Yougha's classroom raised $627

My Project
Our three Kindergarten Classrooms are very busy! During any given day, our students rotate from one learning station to another. However, those students on computers frequently struggle with staying on task because of the excessive noise in our classrooms. And, our broken or ineffective headphones are a poor deterrent to the constant noise or disruptions that frequently occur in busy classrooms. We are requesting new headphones to replace our broken or ineffective ones.
More than 30% of our students have an Individual Educational Plan (IEP) and/or entered Kindergarten Below Grade Level; and are often easily distracted or unable to focus; and if all of our broken or ineffective headphones could magically be replaced, then we could reduce the distractions, while increasing our time on learning in both reading and mathematics.
Our students' greatest joy is completing either iReady Reading or iReady Math on their iPads. Both of these interventions help support our students' learning. Many of our students are auditory learners; and frequently complain that they cannot HEAR what's going on in these programs because of the broken and/or ineffective headphones!
Kindergarten is the foundation of K-12 learning; and research has shown that our students profit most from a quality learning environment that involves hands-on technology. In this day and age, our Kindergarteners must be both prepared and equipped for first grade and beyond. That being the case, your most generous donation in the form of new headphones are an investment in our Kindergartener's future!
More than half of students from low‑income households
