Hardy Headphones

Funded Nov 19, 2024

I can't thank you enough for your generous donations to this project. This was my first Donor's Choose project to get fully funded and it has made a significant impact on my students. Prior to having these headphones, I would have some students using earbuds while most of the class simply played their I-Ready lessons aloud. As you can imagine having twenty-six individual devices playing their unique I-Ready lessons all at the same time, my classroom was both loud and unfocused. Even as the teacher in the classroom, I struggled to focus on my small group instruction as so many videos were playing.

After receiving these hardy headphones, my classroom is a tranquil and effective learning environment. Students have started to pass more I-Ready lessons, and bridge the gaps that they previously had in the learning. Not only do we use these headphones for I-Ready, but students love using them to listen to calming music during their "Ketchup" time. These headphones are truly a game changer!”

With gratitude,
