Funded Dec 12, 2020Thank you again for donating to my classroom, and for helping my students. My students have been learning from home since March of 2020. We started the 2020-2021 school year virtually in the September, and have experienced many challenges since. One of those challenges has been students struggling to hear because of the amount of background noise in their homes, or daycare facilities.
Many of my students come from low-income families. Many have parents who have had to leave the house to work daily while their child learns from home, or learns from a daycare. Homes with many siblings and daycares filled with online learners can get LOUD. I couldn't hear my students talking to me, and my students couldn't hear what I was teaching. Frankly, my students were tired of hearing me say "I can't hear you! put it in the chat!"
The headphones given to my students because of you have helped us as a class tremendously. Many of my students couldn't believe the amount of people who pitched in to help them. Seeing their faces when I told them they would each be getting their own pair of headphones was priceless! Thank you for helping my students get through a tough school year, you are the best!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Hemze
