What I Hear, I Can Better Learn

My Students

My students in Memphis are so excited to be back in the classroom in person for their 5th grade school year. Being their last year of elementary school, their socialization as well as their education, is vital to them.

My students are eager learners and have a love for reading and writing.

To see them engaged in their learning is exciting.

My Project

The headphones will allow each of my students to have a comfortable pair to use daily during intervention and the ELA block. When we do not have working headphones, students can hear other computers and become off task with their own lesson.

Intervention time is very crucial for my students that are working at a lower reading level and trying to improve daily.

This time is to help them become better readers and soaring to their appropriate grade level, fifth grade.

These headphones are easily stackable for daily storage when not in use. This is a plus since our classroom is tight for space with 30 plus students.
