Donors Choose Project- HELP NEEDED!

I want to make sure my students have the materials they need to succeed, so I just created a request for my classroom at DonorsChoose.org:

Listen and Learn - Headphones

If you chip in to help my students, you'll get awesome photos and our heartfelt thanks.

Thanks so much,
Mrs. Juarez

P.S. If you know anyone who may want to help our classroom, please pass this along!
