These headphones will be used for every grade and primarily in music class. Now, kids won't have to transport their headphones and i pads from room to room and it will be so much more convenient for teachers and kids. We got new i pads this year for our school. Unfortunately, they require special connectors to go between the i pad and headphones. Many kids have not been able to use them yet because of this. They are not cheap, so thank you so much!","fullyFundedDate":1760693752135,"projectUrl":"project/can-you-hear-us/9829737/","projectTitle":"Can You Hear Us?","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Otto","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp462967_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1471731065976","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/462967"},{"teacherId":462967,"projectId":9582280,"letterContent":"Thank you for generously gifting my students art supplies.

I really needed some fun relatable books for my classroom. Third grade is such a transitional year especially for reading. Many students not only want books that are fun to read, but also books that build confidence in reading. \r\n\r\nMy new third grade class is loving the collection of Cat Kid, Dogman and Bad Guys graphic novels! They are also curious about the Wings of Fire and City of Ember chapter books. My classroom library really needed this makeover. The best addition has been the Harry Potter books! I cannot wait to design a poster to showcase the books.","fullyFundedDate":1746698806318,"projectUrl":"project/promoting-proficient-readers-and-imagina/9293682/","projectTitle":"Promoting Proficient Readers and Imaginative Artists!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hitchens","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8819713"},{"teacherId":462967,"projectId":9236303,"letterContent":"Can you ever have too many books in a class library? My answer is no. It is so nice to constantly be refreshing our class library thanks to wonderful donors like you. For this project I asked the kids what books they would like to add to the library. It was nice to let them have a say in which books we were adding. It made it extra special to see their smiles on their faces when they opened the boxes and saw that it was the titles they requested. It's a nice fight to see who gets to read the books first.

Some of the students here have set times they use the room to get energy out to calm their bodies, reset after an upsetting situation or conflict, and/or processing sensory information before transitioning to a different class or subject. These students have been the most vocal a with feedback about the new items. A first grade boy loves to use the tactile boards and find which one \"helps\" him be ready to read. Another second grade boy with significant Autism uses the trapeze bar and he is notably calmer in the afternoon after he is able to hang and swing. \r\nThe staff working with students in the room report the options give our students ability to decide what helps them and control over their body and emotions- allowing adults to teach the students about self regulation.
