Headphones NEEDED!!! Say WHAT??? I didn't hear you...
Funded Dec 22, 2018First off I want to thank you for this gracious donation to our students at Riverside Academy! It takes a community to raise a child and this support is a perfect example of this!
The headphones you have provided make it possible for English teachers to use a district mandated program appropriately and effectively in their classrooms. The headphones are used in the one-to-one (each child has their own) laptops that they use all day. To avoid temptation of using the devices for non-educational purposes, personal headphones are against our school policy unless they are using them for this specific program. For this reason we are able to use class sets of headphones in the English classroom due to your donation.
The program that the students utilize the headphones donated helps children improve their grammar, reading comprehension and word study. The program is individualized to suit the needs of each student and to fill their knowledge gaps in basic English Language skills. Due to the program's design students are listening to different directives at the same time. Headphones make it possible that this is not a distracting learning environment.
Many of our students at Riverside Academy are below grade level in reading and we also have a large population of English as a New Language (ENL) learners. Our amazing teachers are working so hard provide for these student and to prepare all of our students to be college and career ready. This donation rewards teachers with another piece to the puzzle to prepare our students. Thank you again!!!”
