Sick Headphones: Prescription Needed

Help me give my students quality headphones that will hold up to the everyday use of first graders.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Menard's classroom raised $487

My Project

Learning in the everyday classroom is changing by the minute. Technology is taking a prominent place within the classroom and at home. It is important that I follow these trends in education and support my students any way that I can. A huge issue within my classroom is the noise level. First graders are very loud when learning in general, but when we add twenty chromebooks to the mix....it is extremely loud.

I am constantly hearing my first graders yelling out, "My headphones are not working!"

My students love to learn! When they are struggling with headphones that are not dependable, they become frustrated. This takes their focus away from learning and time within the classroom is wasted. These new headphones will be used daily within the classroom to work on both Reading and Math computer lessons.

First graders are sponges and ready to take in any knowledge that they can. It is crucial that my students are able to shut out the noise around them and focus on what's important. I hope that you can, "hear me!"
