Your support has made a tremendous difference in our daily learning environment, and we are incredibly grateful. The addition of headphones has created a quieter, more focused atmosphere where students can work independently and confidently.\r\n\r\nIn English Language Arts (ELA), the headphones have been especially helpful for reading fluency and comprehension support. Students are now able to listen to audiobooks, access literacy software, like Boost, and use text-to-speech tools that support a variety of learning needs. This has allowed each student to engage with content at their own level and pace, which has improved both focus and skill development during our reading blocks.\r\n\r\nIn Math, the headphones have enhanced our use of digital learning programs that provide individualized instruction. Students can listen to step-by-step explanations, follow along with visual models, and receive instant audio feedback from Aleks Adventure and Xtra Math. This has helped build their confidence in solving problems independently and has made math time more interactive and effective.

My students were overjoyed at the opportunity to be able to use the Boogie Boards as an alternative to whiteboards. For them, it brought a new joy to otherwise regular, mundane tasks they have grown accustomed to over the year. They no longer had to worry about markers drying out, losing their caps, getting stains on their clothes when working in their focus groups with a teacher. \r\nThe iPad also brought a new level of support to my students. Even with an electronic board, having to stand at the front of the room to teach still felt very limiting when students had questions. With that iPad, it means that I could check on students with their questions instead of them having to wait until I was finished at the front of the class. This means faster and more individualized learning!\r\nWe were so excited for the new opportunities our items brought us.

My project was fulfilled at the end of the previous school year so we did not receive our headphones until very recently. It has been wonderful to start a new school year with working equipment!\r\n\r\nMy students use their computers often whether it be for testing purposes or working on educational programs independently. Having a room of 25 or more students all trying to listen and work on their computers at once without headphones would be chaos. Having working headphones allows students to concentrate on what they are doing without worrying about disturbing others or being disturbed. Being able to focus is key for students to perform at their best. \r\n\r\nMy students were very excited to get these new headphones. They loved the cool colors and have promised to take care of them.

One will be reenacting the creation and signing of the Declaration of Independence. We will make and put together some costumes and even create a back drop to add the magic. We are also going to be doing a lot of math review outside, as the weather here has turned into a summer sneak peak and my students adore the fresh air. We will be doing addition hope scotch, chalk clocks, and number sentence relays. \r\nThank you again for the generosity you showed my students and I in donating to this project.
