Hear ye! Hear ye!

Funded Apr 1, 2025

Thank you so very much for the donation towards my project for new headphones. Teaching in a rural county, it is sometimes very hard for parents to supply the necessary items for their students to be successful in the classroom. Being a mom to three young boys myself, it is often hard for myself to go out and buy extra supplies for the students in my classroom.

Having this project funded has taken a load off me. My students were super excited to receive new headphones. Before, I only had about 10 working headphones for 20 students. The students without headphones really had a hard time concentrating and staying on task because of all the extra noise in the classroom. Students who struggle with ADHD really struggle with staying on task and focused with all the extra noise going on in the classroom. These new headphones provide a quiet working environment for all students. Students can focus on their work and get it done in a timely manner. Students use their iPad/headphones to complete daily learning programs such as Waterford Reading and Math, Extra Math, and Epic (listening to books online). Students also use their iPad/headphones to complete benchmark assessments as well as weekly classroom assessments.

Again, thank you so much for helping fund my project for my classroom! Without donors like you, my project would not have been funded, and my students would still be without working headphones.”
