The sounds from different programs would overlap, and it was hard for students to hear directions or stories clearly. Now, with each child having their own pair of headphones, our classroom feels calm and focused. Students can log in, put on their headphones, and start learning at their own pace.\r\n\r\nWe use the headphones every day during our math rotations. They use online programs that read questions and instructions aloud, helping them solve problems and build number fluency. \r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting our classroom and helping our students build the skills and confidence they need to succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1758481325039,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-needed/9626901/","projectTitle":"Headphones Needed","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lopez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5281001_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1525790733970","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5281001"},{"teacherId":5281001,"projectId":9533981,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous donation, our second graders have been putting our new black dry erase markers to great use during math lessons.
