Quite a few of my students are highly sensitive to different sensory textures. How things feel matter deeply to my students. They are easily overwhelmed by how things feel.
In addition, all of my students are feeling the effects of disrupted learning due to COVID.
Learning at home, learning at school are both options that they must learn and adapt to doing.
Most importantly, my fourth graders are learning how to do academic work with grit-learning to learn, no matter where they are at.
My Project
First, this will help students who have sensory issues. Not only does it help to block out some outside noise, but these headphones will also help them to hear more when working on projects and assignments.
Second, this will not just help a few students, but all students in my class.
With all the variants of COVID, too many interruptions to learning have already happened. My students need access to great technology that will help them learn at home and at school. When my students are not able to come to school, they can still learn at home.
High quality headphones that fit securely on their head will help them to hear the information they need to be successful as well as tune out the noise that may be distracting.
