My Project

Our students know and use a variety of strategies to help them be successful socially and academically. I am requesting sets of noise cancelling headphones to be shared by our second grade students. This will be an additional strategy for students to choose.

Noise cancelling headphones help students regulate emotions or reduce distractions during work time.

These headphones will allow them to decide if they would benefit from wearing a pair during independent work time or when they would like a quieter environment when distracted.

Thank you for helping us gain another strategy that will help us be successful learners!
