My Project

These items that I am requesting will enhance my instructional program. The students will be able to use the requested headphones as they work on individual intervention programs via the computer. These headphones will eliminate students from being distracted as they work toward their reading goals. The requested flexible seating will give students a comfortable space as they explore the many genres in the classroom library. Lastly, the requested bluetooth/wireless speaker will allow the teacher to stream lessons via audio for all of the students.

Again, the headphones, speakers and seating will encourage student engagement and improve instruction.
