Phoning in for Headphones!
Funded Nov 1, 2021
Many, many thanks to you for your generous donations to fund headphones for my class. So far, students who do not have access to headphones otherwise have been able to do digital research, explore new ways to focus by listening to study music as they work, and have more choice in the digital texts they are exploring and writing about.
Students who have trouble with engagement are more engaged due to a feeling of greater sense of ownership over what they are choosing to study, and blocking out surrounding noise has been a game changer for students who have trouble focusing in a group setting. We really appreciate our new headphones so much!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Bulthuis

I currently teach a class of ELL students in a portable with no student computers. Three laptops in my class would enable my beginner language learners to access audiobooks, listening practice, and language learning programs that would help them catch up to their peers and afford them the differentiation they need in the classroom. They would get much needed practice in reading, writing, and listening, as well as phonics and vocabulary. In addition, computers would be used for students to be able to access grades, edit essays, take retakes, do research, and finish assignments. Typically we have to wait for one of the computer carts shared by the school to have computer access - computers in the classroom would allow my students more opportunities for success and more ready access to technology that would enhance their learning.
