To Hear You Better!

Help me give my students earbuds which will be used at home and school.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Patton's classroom raised $179

My Students

My fourth-grade class is full of unique personalities. Creative, funny, extraordinary, and curious, those are some words that describe my students. My learners love to explore science and math. Together we are building their foundation to become life-long learners.

My students are fourth graders who enjoy coming to school everyday to learn.

I am nurturing a love of learning, a curiosity for science, and a passion for mathematics. My students are challenged daily to give their best at home, in the community, and in school. We are a room of future authors, mathematicians, scientists, teachers, poets, and learners full of enthusiasm and inquisitiveness!

My Project

These earbuds will allow students to have their own hearing devices for home and school. Earbuds can make education more entertaining in many ways. Whether students are at school or home, they will still work on lessons which require independent listening. Earbuds for every student will allow them to block out their environment and keep them focused on their lesson.

Before Covid-19, students shared headphones which were cleaned off after each use with alcohol wipes.

Now, students should have their own individual earbuds for school and home. Investing in earbuds will encourage students to keep learning. Earbud use while on their tablets will allow more learning opportunities and additional ways to focus. This can lead to an all-around better performance on class assignments and standardized tests.
