My Project

Students learn in a variety of ways. Some students learn best via audio. Having headphones available for students to use in my classroom can assist my audio learners. My students are also multi-taskers. They like to listen to music while working on assignments. To have this be successful in my classroom, students need headphones.

However, not all of my students can provide their own headphones.

The school I teach in is low SES and has a high number of free and reduced lunches. This is where my donation ask comes into play. Will you be willing to donate to my classroom to help my students?
