My Project

In today's times of technological advancements, my students utilize the computer throughout the day to enhance their classroom learning experiences. Students are able to explore space, investigate plants and animals, and watch/listen to educational videos using our online curriculum. Many of my students are auditory learners, however they are easily distracted and need headphones to assist in improving their listening skills.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

Having a set of headphones for each student will allow the students to focus on these programs/online lessons while limiting the noise around them.
