Funded Oct 10, 2022I remember the day my boxes of headphones arrived. They were delivered to the classroom in Amazon boxes, which of course piqued the interest of my students. I decided not to tell them what was in the boxes. That afternoon, I opened the boxes and setup brand new headphones at each student work station. I was impressed at how fast the headphones arrived and by the quality of the headphones. I was excited to see the reactions of my students the next day.
The next morning, students came into the classroom as normal. As they sat at their work area, they began to discover the headphones. I had a lot of questions from students. They wanted to know if these were for them and where the headphones came from. I explained the grant I applied for and that yes, these were theirs to use. We went over the purpose of the headphones and how they were tools to help them learn and focus.
This may just seem like a set of classroom headphones, but in reality it is so much more. Having these headphones has allowed my students to have quality tools that allow them to do things like hear an audiobook clearly, drown out excess noise while studying, watch a Youtube video of their teacher going over an important review concept. I also love that I will be able to use these headphones for years to come with multiple groups of students. Your generosity is truly appreciated!”
