Funded Nov 30, 2022By donating to my class the money necessary to purchase new headphones and noise cancelling head sets, my students are able to work more effectively. The fact that both of these items have noise cancelling properties helps the students, especially the ones that have attention deficit disorders and it keeps all outside noises OUTSIDE so that they are able to apply their full attention to their work.
I had received a class set of headphones that the students are using daily for online reading and math practice, but also for middle of the year state testing. The clearer quality helps the students better understand what they are hearing which is great.
I had received 6 noise cancelling head sets and will have to order more in the future. During independent work, these are reserved for students with more trouble keeping their attention to their work due to random noises, such as the clicking of a fan in the room, noise from the hallway or outside the school, or even the tapping of a foot or pencil in the classroom. I have seen an improvement with these students and and their quality of work as well as the time it takes them to get their work completed.
Many thanks for your kindness to my classroom!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Guthrie
