Student Animal-Themed Headphones
Bear Why I need this:
Our school has two computer labs with 30 computers each. These headsets are the perfect size for children 5-7 years old. We have a difficult time finding headphones that fit the children correctly. These would be great!
Quantity: 60 Price: $18.00
The Animal Themed Student Headphone is specifically built for young students with safety as its first concern.

Cook Primary School
Hometown:
Adel, Georgia
Class Information:
Room Number: 710 & 711
Students per Class: 750!!!!
Class Description:
My classrooms are two computer labs. They both contain 30 computers. One of the labs has Macintosh computers that are over 10 years old. The other lab has Gateway computers with Microsoft XP operating system. Between the two labs the students have multiple software programs to use.
Position:
technology teacher
Needs:
Of course our school would love to update the lab of older computers, but that would leave us with a need for additional software. The students visit each lab 30 times a year and we want to keep them challenged with various programs.
My Philosophy:
I could teach calculus to kindergarteners if there was a fun and exciting computer game to provide practice. I plan with the classroom teachers to see what they are teaching and then when the students visit the labs we practice those same skills. The children play games and continue learning without even realizing it!
