I received test taking privacy boards and headphones. Headphones are used daily, and lots of students don't have them. Our digital platform has sound, and you can imagine how distracting it is if no child has headphones. This addition to my classroom will make a big difference in the focus level of students. The privacy boards are also important to help students focus, particularly during testing. Our rooms are not big, and students are in close proximity to each other. The privacy boards help students to stay focused on their own work.\r\n\r\nI have explained to students that many of the special items in our classroom were given by donors who want them to have a quality learning experience.
