My project is to help students be able to work from home and school during our new hybrid learning model. I work in a Title I middle school in Grand Rapids, Michigan. All of my students qualify for free lunch and many are responsible for taking care of their siblings. They are hard workers. Their homes are sometimes loud, which makes it difficult to learn. I would like to provide headphones for them in order to help them be able to focus when online working and watching videos I create from them. I have been working with them in small groups, and I have really noticed how hard it is for them to hear me without headphones. I appreciate any support I receive. These are wonderful children who deserve an education!
