The headphones I am requesting are more durable than the headphones I have been able to provide for my students. Last year at the beginning of school, the second grade teachers put headphones on the supply list as we knew how important they were going to be for each student. However the problem was out of 22 students, I only had 6 students bring headphones. Trust me you do not want to experience a classroom with half the class listening to lessons on iPads without headphones. It is noisy and distracting for all students. Headphones will allow my students to stay focused on their interventions and work without distractions. At our school, it is required that all students do 30 minutes of reading interventions (Iready) and 30 minutes of math interventions (Iready) on an iPads daily. So, I went out and purchased headphones for every student in my class at the dollar store. They worked for a while, but then they started falling apart. I purchased headphones 3 times last year for every student in my class. Out of 66 headphones, I ended up with only 6 at the end of the school year. This year, I want to start with durable headphones for every student so they may get started on interventions right away without distractions. By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
