My Project

My three classes are composed of bright, young learners. Our inclusion classroom is comprised of diverse and EL learners who are all on different levels of reading and abilities. My students understand the value of reading and take any chance they have to demonstrate what they have learned through writing. Most of our students come from military families from Barksdale Airforce Base and use technology as a way of both completing and sharing their learning with their family members and teachers.

Our school is unique in both our students and our structure.

We have an open-concept building without walls between classes. This gives our building and our students a great sense of community. We love being connected so closely to our students and faculty!

My students will be using the headphones to listen to online presentations, enjoy audiobooks, practice language skills, and watch instructional videos. With our students being both virtual and on-campus learners, it is important that we create an environment that allows them to focus and really concentrate on their work online.

Headphones are a great resource to allow students that individualized experience of being a one-person audience to the information they are receiving.

Headphones would also help me administer read-aloud accommodations to my students who require it to complete tests, while not interfering with those around them.
