My Project

What I love most about my students is their excitement for learning and their perseverance. Many of them are bilingual learners who face daily challenges, but they show up each day with big smiles and a strong desire to grow. They are curious, kind, and always willing to try their best.

The AILIHEN Kids Headphones will help my students focus during independent work by reducing background noise and allowing them to hear instructions, stories, and educational content.

The volume limit feature ensures safe listening, and the built-in microphones will be especially helpful for speaking and listening activities, which are crucial for language development. These headphones will support their learning in reading, math, and English language development programs on Chromebooks and tablets, helping each student work at their own pace and ability level.

This resource gives my students a quieter, more focused environment to thrive—and for that, I’m incredibly thankful.
