My Project

Headphones are essential every day in my classroom. Without working headphones, it is extremely difficult for students to concentrate and complete their independent work online.

Headphones do not last forever with daily use, so there is a constant need for new headphones.

While it would be ideal for each student to bring their headphones and for headphones to last all school year, neither of these things usually happens. My students need these headphones to be successful. Many parents have not provided headphones for their child.

My students need headphones that are comfortable and durable for daily use. In our classroom, we use headphones daily. The use of headphones engages and empowers learners. Please help purchase new headphones that fit students comfortably.
