My Project

Our eager kindergarten students use iPads every day to enhance their learning! They engage with educational apps that help build important skills in literacy and math. A key tool they need in order to use these apps effectively are a pair of headphones. Recently, our class has faced challenges with having enough headphones, and the few available are often faulty, which limits the overall experience and hinders students' ability to fully access their learning.

Additionally, while students are working independently on their iPads, teachers, like myself, are working with small groups to target specific foundational skills.

It’s crucial for students to be fully engaged with working headphones so that teachers can focus entirely on providing rich, targeted instruction.

Please help my students by providing working headphones, so that we can all access our learning to the fullest!
