My Students

My students are a diverse group of fifth graders in an urban neighborhood. My students love learning, especially when we are all together. We collaborate, on a daily basis, and we learn from each other by sharing our stories.

My students deserve the best technology there is to offer in order to make e-learning as synchronous as possible.

I am thrilled to be able to connect with my students this year and learn together. Fifth grade is truly the best and the classroom community that we create together will be something that my students will remember forever.

My Project

In March, my classroom was turned upside down. Learning was no longer happening in a school setting, but instead students were learning virtually in the comfort of their own homes. Throughout the next few months, my students and I discovered e-learning together. We met over Google Meets, Zoom, and YouTube Live. Over time, it became clear that my students were most successful when they were able to learn in a distraction free environment. With siblings and parents working, often in the same room, my students struggled staying focus on their lessons. During virtual meetings, I often found it challenging to hear my students clearly because of the quality of the microphones on the devices that they were using. My students were already learning to find their voice behind their screen and when their microphones malfunctioned, it only made connecting with them more complex. Headphones with a built in microphone have the power to fix these difficulties that we faced.

By donating to this project, you will not only help my students maintain their focus throughout our daily lessons, but you will be giving them a voice in our virtual classroom

My students will receive their very own headphones to create a distraction free environment while they are remote learning. Remote learning is a new concept for all of my students. Creating a remote learning space is going to be imperative to ensure that all of my students are set up for success. Part of that learning space includes quality headphones that the students are able to use on a daily basis in order to connect with me and their classmates!
