My Students

My students are special because they are all nestled together in an ICT classroom, highlighting there vast abilities of learning.

I service low-income students with high expectations of receiving the best education possible without restrictions.

My students are required to complete online activities and assessments with no/minimal distractions. My students get distracted quickly. So receiving headphones will greatly impact their success and reduce the spread of germs because each student will receive their own headphone. Fewer​ distractions equal greater gains.

Thanking you in advance for your support.

My Project

These materials will help each student to complete their activities, lessons, and assessments without being distracted from outside noises.

I believe with fewer distractions comes greater results.

I want all of my students to feel successful at the end of every assignment given to them on I-Ready, Readworks, and any other learning websites.

Having the headphones will teach my students to independently think for themselves and not listen to hear what answer their classmate has chosen. The headphones will also help them to not feel embarrassed when they respond incorrectly.

I'm trying to build tenacity, integrity, independence, responsibility, and SUCCESS.
