My Project

Headphones are essentially every day in the classroom. Without working headphones, it is extremely difficult for students to concentrate and complete their assigned online activities. Headphones do not last forever from daily use, so there is a constant need for new headphones. While it would be ideal for each student to bring their headphones and for headphones to last all school year, neither of those usually happens. My students need these headphones to be successful. Headphones are great to have to continue supporting my students academically!

My students need headphones that are comfortable and durable for daily use; they will help with focus and concentration.

In our classroom, we use headphones daily. The use of headphones engages and empowers learners. Please help us purchase new headphones and a storage rack to keep them organized in the classroom. Also, we document our learning with the use of an easel pad and a new dry erase baord.
