My Project

My students have to be able to hear the instructions and partial lessons from the computer. We are in a room with 29 students and noise from a hallway. During smaller groups my co-teacher and I differentiate so we can meet our students at their level. In order to do this, all students need to be fully engaged in their activity. Hearing noise from multiple computers and teachers working in small groups is not conducive for learning. Some periods there are 3 teachers in the room. Thank you for your support and generosity.
