My Project

Headphones are essential to students' mood and learning! Headphones are an invaluable tool for learning, especially during math and science projects and experiments. I am asking you to donate headphones to my students because headphones are essential to students' learning. Please help me give my students the headphones they need to help them concentrate while learning and exploring the world of math and science. When I asked my students why they believe they need headphones, they said that having a pair of headphones helps them remove themselves from distractions and extract the noises around them in the classroom. The students stated that using a pair of headphones allows them to listen to lectures, participate in workstations, learn videos, do small group work, or read books on tape during independent work.

Headphones help students disconnect from what is happening around them and check the sounds when editing videos.

Headphones can also help students listen to music while working or project to help build mood and improve outcomes. Headphones during math and science classes mean enormous possibilities to enhance learning and focusing skills for all of my students. Headphones will allow me to have multiple informational texts about math or science read to the students simultaneously to accommodate the range of reading comprehension skills and to follow through with live and virtual math and science classroom instructions. We are dependent on the generosity of people like you to help students participate effectively in math and science projects. By donating and generously giving headphones to my students, you are helping improve the students' ability to access and participate in math and science within the classroom to participate in individual and team experiments.
