My Students
My students are 5th graders with a passion for learning. Unfortunately, they have the odds stacked against them. My kids are growing up in abject poverty in an extremely violent neighborhood. Our school and my students are incredibly resource deficient. 100% of the students at my school receive free or reduced priced lunch. Most of them are performing significantly below grade level. They are statistically some of the absolute "lowest" performing students in the state of Florida. They have to deal with hardship after hardship inside and outside of school, yet they are some of the most resilient and passionate kids you will ever meet.
These kids have a particularly special place in my heart because I've taught them before.
I am determined to make our time together more meaningful than ever and I refuse to let our lack of access to resources or historically low academic achievement hold us back. We can make huge strides this year, but I'm going to need the help of a village!
My Project
My students need a sterile and comfortable way to hear their individual computers each day. These headphones would offer us that solution!
We use technology with sound every class.
Right now, we only have 3 working pairs of headphones which drastically complicates that ability. We are getting ready to start research projects that will require my kids to be able to watch and listen to information at their own pace. I am asking for a class set so that all of my students can have the opportunity to hear their computers at once without disrupting the learning of their classmates!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
