My Project

During the pandemic, a lot of students had to go to school online and learn on the computer. Now that we are back, we all are still used to using technology for most of their learning. With learning on computers, it's hard to listen when everyone's computer is talking or making noises all at once. It becomes a little noisy and hard to focus for everyone.

With this project, I want to help provide the classrooms with what kids really need in good quality to help even more.

A lot of students either do not have headphones or they are a little worn out. Some kids also are not able to afford new good quality ones as well with there families going through so much like immigrating and refugee, along with personal life matters. With technology being very big in education today, headphones are very crucial so they can hear the instructions. It also helps tune out small distractions so they can focus on their work/lesson better.

My students are so smart and are always striving to achieve goals, to learn more, and grow. They have the biggest hearts and always want to make my day, to spread some kindness around, everywhere they go. They are also super smart and learn so quickly with everything they learn.

With your donation, our students will be able to have better headphones, of their own, to use so they can complete more work and learn even better. They are so smart and fast learners, and can achieve so much. With your help, this one item will make such a huge positive impact in education.
