Your support has made a profound difference in our classroom and in the lives of my students.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the headphones, my students have been able to fully engage with our literacy programs in a way that was not possible before. These tools have allowed them to practice reading independently, listen to their own voices, and receive real-time feedback on their fluency. The excitement in the classroom is undeniable—students are eager to put on their headphones and dive into their reading practice.\r\n\r\nOne of the most incredible transformations has been in students who previously struggled with reading aloud. With their own headphones, they feel more confident practicing without fear of judgment, and their fluency has already shown noticeable improvement. Several students have told me they love being able to hear their own progress and make corrections right away.\r\n\r\nBeyond just literacy, these headphones have created a more focused learning environment, reducing distractions and allowing each student to work at their own pace. The impact of this project will continue to be felt throughout the year as my students grow into more confident, capable readers.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my students and giving them the tools they need to thrive. Your kindness and generosity are truly shaping their educational journey.","fullyFundedDate":1734099429573,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-third-graders-with-headphones/8858055/","projectTitle":"Empowering Third Graders with Headphones to Increase Reading Fluency","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Flinchum","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8967286_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1726192827225","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-flinchum"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_73374","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":457,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":63,"percentWhite":19,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"11.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.1,"schoolId":73374,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Beech Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Beech Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/redford-union-school-district/bulman-elementary-school/73374"}
