    Funded Jan 28, 2024

    Thank you so much for funding my project. It means to world to me that there are people out there excited to help the youth like I do! We will be using the headphones in a multitude of ways, but mostly they'll be used to complete units. My students will be grateful for the new headphones!”

  • Pull Up a Chair!

    Funded Aug 9, 2022

    Thank you so much for donating to the cause of giving my students comfortable seats to sit in and do their work. My students love to read their books in their comfortable bean bag chairs. Now that they are comfortable, they get so absorbed in their independent reading books. My students have more this year than in past years thanks to the at home feeling they get from the seats. My students were so surprised by the chairs, they couldn't believe they were getting them to use on a daily basis. I have students wanting more time added to their timers because they are so absorbed in their reading.”

  • Have a Seat, Stay Awhile!

    Funded Jan 21, 2022

    Thank you so much for donating to this project. My students were so excited to unpack the bean bag chairs. They have sat in them on a daily basis while independent reading, during lessons, or working independently on the computer. They are very appreciative of each one of you. These chairs have given my students a comfortable place to sit and relax and complete their work!

    We are actually going to be setting up a new project to add to our collection. My students are more alert and ready to learn now that they are comfortable. It helps to cut down on the students feeling the need to walk around/stand up as much during lessons. So again, THANK YOU!!”

    With gratitude,

  • Listen Up!

    Funded Sep 23, 2021

    Thank you so much for helping my students with her learning by supporting our headphones project. At our school we use a reading program that is part written and part online. My students were struggling to hear the computer communicate directions, and hear the assignments on the computer. Each student now has an assigned pair of headphones and can complete the assignments with ease. We are trying to bring up their reading comprehension skills, so we can bring them up to grade level. Each student can now make real progress.

    My students can now have their stories read to them, and they can listen as well as follow along with the online books. My students don't need to feel ashamed of what level they are on, because now everything is private. Their scores are only being heard by them, and they can stay in competition with only their own levels. They are striving to read as many books as they can now. They are enjoying their little escape to whatever book setting they are reading.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Sheridan

My students have an individualized computer program they do every day to help improve their reading comprehension, grammar skills, and vocabulary skills. When the students have headphones they are able to focus more on the program in front of them, instead of the distractions in/out of the classroom. These students are reading on 3rd/4th grade reading levels in a 9th grade classroom. We are trying to improve their skills before they go onto the next grade in a larger high school. The headphones will keep their focus and they can excel! Please consider helping them out. God bless and thank you!
