Learning Math and Science Using Headphones!

Help me give my students a set of headphones (30) and a headphone organizer to help them block out distractions and focus on their work. This can create a more immersive learning experience and retain more information.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The benefit of having headphones in the classroom is that they can be used to cancel out any background noise completely and focus on the information that is important. The students will be using the headphones when using math apps, audiobooks for science, and during any test. Headphones can be used so students can hear questions on an exam before writing down the answers.

Headphones are a way to ensure that learning is more fun, exciting, and engaging for my students.

Also, they can use the headphones to explore a wide range of school activities.

All my students have different learning styles. One of these types is auditory learning. Some reports suggest that 30% of students are auditory learners. Auditory learners gather information most effectively by listening and then discussing new concepts. By using headphones in the classroom, this will help ensure my students can access this style of learning.
