Headphones for future content creators!

Help me give my students headphones to use to complete creative projects on laptops! Currently they cannot focus while working on their devices because they hear sounds on each other's devices. We would love to have headphones!

My Project

My fifth-grade students are curious, creative, and eager to learn. As English Language Learners in a Title 1 school, they face unique challenges, but they are determined to express their ideas in meaningful ways. I want to provide them with opportunities to engage in interactive and multimedia learning experiences that build their confidence and communication skills. A class set of headphones will allow students to create songs, videos, and slideshows to showcase their understanding in a way that goes beyond traditional assignments. With access to quality headphones, they can record their voices, edit multimedia projects, and engage with digital learning tools without distractions. This project will empower my students to take ownership of their learning, collaborate with peers, and develop important 21st-century skills. Your support will help them unlock new possibilities and ensure they have the tools they need to succeed.
