That might sound simple, but it's made a really big difference for my students.\r\n\r\nIn a busy classroom, things break—especially headphones—and when they do, it can throw everything off. Before, it meant students having to share, wait their turn, or sometimes miss out completely. That led to frustration, and honestly, it could take away from their excitement to learn. Now, thanks to you, those moments are gone.\r\n\r\nMy students use technology every day to practice reading and math skills at their own level. With working headphones, they can stay focused, hear clearly, and really get the most out of their learning time. It allows them to be more independent, and they feel proud of what they can do on their own.\r\n\r\nYou didn't just replace supplies. You helped create a calmer, happier, more inclusive classroom where every student gets a chance to succeed.\r\n\r\nThank you for making that happen for my kids 💛","fullyFundedDate":1768840503075,"projectUrl":"project/things-break-lets-replace/9999065/","projectTitle":"Things Break, Let's Replace!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Harbour","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8825174_orig.jpg?crop=1536,1536,x0,y481&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754619354946","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8825174"},{"teacherId":5450473,"projectId":9915044,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting my classroom and my students!
