My Students

My classroom consists of wonderful and talented students. I am a middle school special education teacher that teaches both general education students, as well as students with disabilities. Our school is a wonderful learning community, here to serve children of all needs and capabilities. The students in our school are amazing kids who face extreme challenges in and outside of the classroom due to high poverty.

Our school is also a Leader in Me school, where students receive weekly instruction based on Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

We are a Title I public school. Our students receive free breakfast and lunch. We work hard to make our classroom a community and a family away from home. To make this happen, we have a variety of places in our classroom to learn in many different ways.

My Project

My students have been so enthusiastic about using our Chromebooks and Google Classroom. However, without headphones, listening to educational videos can get very loud and distracting. My students would really benefit having their own set of headphone so that they can focus and hear only what they are listening to. These headphones will allow my students to succeed using today's technology.We are a Title I school and most of my students do not bring in their own or are only able to purchase earbuds from the dollar store that do not last.

Through your generous donations I will be able to provide my students with their own headphones, which will drastically improve my instruction.

Utilizing technology allows my students to facilitate stronger learning and experience new things. The headphones will help them to work more efficiently because they will not be distracted by the noise of their fellow classmates.
