Can You Hear Me Now?

My Students

No one wants to sit in the back of the class, unless they want to go unnoticed. My awesome students ALL want to sit in the front where they can hear me clearly with out being distracted.

I am a 4th grade teacher with 28 enthusiastic students in my class.

About 80 percent of my students are on free or reduced lunch. All of my students are highly motivated to learn, no matter what challenges they face at home or in their community. All the parents in my class want the best education for their child and they try to do the best they can.

My Project

This is a challenge my students face. My students who have a difficult time staying focused in class are especially affected by the distracting background noises that are made by the normal shuffling of students in their seats and so on. My fourth grade students all have an insatiable desire to learn and do well in school. Many of my students have requested to move closer to the front of class so that they can hear me clearly without having to decipher thorough the normal noises of side conversations, chairs moving, sifting through backpacks and such.

Bottom line.

My students have an incredible desire to learn and they just want to be able to hear the teacher no matter WHERE they sit in class. This amplification system will benefit ALL my students!
