Help me give my math students the ability to work in an environment free of distraction. These noise cancelling headphones will help all the learners in my classroom succeed, particularly those with attention deficit disorder and learning difficulties. One of the biggest challenges my students face in the classroom is distraction with the various skills being taught to the different small groups I teach within one class. Very often my students are distracted because of the close proximity within our small room to the other math skills being reinforced with other small groups. Within one class, there are various levels of math being taught. The grade level of the students in each class is the same BUT the math skills vary, some by 4 or 5 grade levels, within one class. Many times, as I am working with one group, I see the other students covering their ears to try to tune me out so they can focus on their skills. It is very difficult for my students to concentrate on practicing multiplying fractions if I am doing a lesson on dividing decimals. This is the type of distraction I would love to eliminate for them. The noise cancelling headphones I am requesting are to help my students remain focused on their own skill and do the very best they can. Not only do the headphones cancel out noise, but they can be used to play soft, soothing music while they practice their math facts in their journals. My students can also use them with our math computer resources while they are here at school, as, many of my students do not have computers at home. Here, they can practice at their own pace. The addition of these headphones to our class will surely help ALL of my students succeed!
