I went through 200 of them and ran out months before the end of the year. \r\n\r\nNow, I have headphones that are more stable and better quality so they aren't so easily broken. Also, I made a really cute storage area for them and the kids have been really good about borrowing and returning them to the correct spot. \r\n\r\nWe use headphones a lot when we work on the computers. When we take spelling tests, they are on the computer so the headphones are super helpful in order for the kids to hear the words. They also go on individualized pathways through a different program where they need to listen to stories and videos. \r\n\r\nThis has been a perfect addition to the classroom.

This helps them stay focused and work independently at their own learning levels.\r\n\r\nFor some of my students, having the right materials can make a big difference in their confidence and success.
