My Project

My students are so full of energy and have such bubbly personalities. They love to chat all day and play with their friends. They are so sweet and I love how much they love each other and school. But, this requires me to be on the top of my game to keep them engaged and learning.

One struggle we have been having is the lack of headphones in our classroom.

Part of our daily rotation is time reading books, listening to books, and practicing phonics skills on their Chromebooks while I pull small groups in order to target their specific needs. When the computers get going, students are starting to struggle staying focused because it gets too loud, too easily without the headphones. With this project, each student will be able to get a brand new pair of headphones for their Chromebooks.
