    I truly appreciate everyone's generosity when donating to my project. I have needed books to help support my guided reading lessons for a long time. My students and I will get tremendous use out these leveled books. I can't wait to see the look on my student's face when we receive them. Thank you again!”

  • Headphones for Literacy

    Funded Dec 31, 2018

    First off, let me start by saying how I truly appreciate the kindness of the many who donated to help my classroom. My students have been using the headphones everyday. Instead of having the sounds of each others computers, the students are able to be engaged in their own learning. I have seen a tremendous increase in engagement with these headphones. In addition, the headphones have taught my students responsibility by taking care of them.

    From the very moment my students saw the boxes, they were so excited to find out what was inside. They were speechless to find out that each one of them get their own pair of headphones. I have put them in an organizer with the student's name on it. They know to be responsible by being careful and putting them back when they are done. They have shown how grateful they are through their actions.

    I have several students whose families do not come from a lot of money. I have seen my students grow from this project. Not only are the headphones helping academically but they are teaching my students life lessons. For that I thank you.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Pollard

Headphones are a necessity in the classroom. Headphones are used every day, during our literacy stations. Students listen to stories, music, and research as they develop their computer skills. Computers can become a distraction to some of our students who are learning. Headphones will limit that distraction by reducing the volume. These will be vital to our learning so students can focus on learning how to read. I believe my students will value the use of the headphones. My students need proper materials to help them grow in every subject. These headphones will be the starting point in changing their lives.
