Super Surfers Hear All About It!

Help me give my students headphones that will allow them to work independently with our technology!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Thomforde's classroom raised $452

This project is fully funded

My Students

My Super Surfers are an amazing bunch of kiddos! They practice our spirit of Ohana by sharing school tools with each other whenever needed. To make our learning environment more productive, we'd like to add earphones to assist when we are using our new classroom technology.

My Project

We are a Title I school that has been lucky enough to be granted Chrome books in a 1:1 ratio for use by our students in the classroom. Many of the most exciting interactive materials used by our curriculum are self paced, which means students need to be able to work independently.

Right now, we do not have enough headphones that function properly to allow more than 4 students to utilize the computers at a time, without additional help in triaging the mangled headphone pads.

The Flexphones I have selected for our project are durable enough to deal with the daily use by active 1st Graders.
