We're All Ears! New Headphones!

My students need earphones to listen to the computers and iPads in the classroom. They also need a new set of mailboxes to keep their homework and papers organized.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Simmons's classroom raised $192

My Students

My students have become comfortable in the classroom this year. They enjoy going on the computers and iPads as much as possible. They love learning through the use of technology and are always eager to learn something new.

My school is a title 1 school.

Since we just recently became title 1, we are still in need of so many things in our classroom. My students have a hunger to learn and are always asking "what are we going to be doing today?" They are spunky, smart, funny, serious and committed to learning.

My Project

The new sets of headphones will make learning through the use of technology easier for my students. When they use the computers or iPads, they won't have to worry about the noise and bothering the other students who may be working independently. The headphones will allow for a quieter learning environment in class. The new mailboxes will help make sure all my students work and their nightly homework materials are organized and all in one place. This will help students learn to be organized and get into a routine.

These donations help my students learn, not only academically, but with new organizational skills as well.

The students will be organized citizens of our classroom society and will also be able to enjoy more time using technology without fear that they may be bothering other students during the learning process.
