Title I School

Help me give my students support and comfort with cushions and earbuds in my EC classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Vaughn's classroom raised $209

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am an EC Teacher at a Title I School. The students do not have a lot at home and giving them these supplies will help in the classroom. The students that are in my classroom will be able to use the headphones to listen to books that are being read to them.

I will be doing reading lessons with them in circle time and some of my students will be using headphones to help drown out the noise and listen to books.

The cushions will help make circle time for students easier they will be using these cushions instead of sitting on the floor.

The items that I choose will help with these different things that I have going on in my classroom with my students.
