My Students

My students have been very lucky to receive technology such as iPads & computers through the generosity of DonorsChoose supporters. The downside of this is that the classroom can get a little noisy when these tools are being used. Headphones would help decrease noise and allow my students to focus.

My students approach life with the enthusiasm and curiosity that all five-year-old children seem to have in abundance.

Despite living in a low socioeconomic area where their parents struggle to make ends meet, they are incredibly hopeful and looking forward to the future. My students' parents want the best education possible for them but due to financial constraints, many cannot afford to have books, puzzles or other educational toys at home. It is up to me and the school to provide these wonderful, amazing, eager and bright kids with a wide variety of learning tools. We are a Title I school, which means that we do get funds to improve the academic achievement of the disadvantaged, but not enough to provide every classroom with all the "extras" that they need. In fact due to all the budget cuts, we are running very low on essential supplies such as pencils, crayons, scissors, erasers, and even multipurpose paper. Please help us get wireless headphones for our classroom.

My Project

I am requesting 6 wireless headphones so that my kindergarten students will be able to hear the lessons assigned to them on their iPads or computer. My students use their iPads daily to reinforce reading and math skills, even taking reading comprehension tests. Sometimes with so many kindergarten students in the room it is almost impossible to hear. I am also requesting these headphones to be wireless because many times the regular headphones get all tangled up and my students waste a lot of instructional minutes trying to untangle them. My kindergartners also sometimes struggle to plug in the headphones into the iPads. I hope that the wireless headphones eliminate these issues.

Headphones will help my students focus on learning and minimize distractions.

Our room will be able to shift from noise overload to a quiet, productive buzz. Students will be able to learn instead of worry or be distracted by what everyone else in the classroom is doing.
