You didn't just fund a project—you transformed our daily learning experience in a way that my students feel and appreciate every single day.\r\n\r\nBefore these microphone headphones arrived, our technology time was filled with challenges. Students were trying to share broken headphones that didn't record clearly, cords constantly came loose, and many struggled to complete programs like Amira because their voices weren't picked up well by the computer. Some students would get discouraged before they even began. It was tough seeing their confidence drop simply because the tools weren't working for them.\r\n\r\nThat all changed the moment we opened your package.\r\n\r\nThe excitement in the room was unforgettable. Students were cheering, smiling, and asking, \"Do we really get our OWN microphone headphones?\" They couldn't believe that people they had never met cared enough to make their learning better. Their joy in that moment is something I will always hold onto.\r\n\r\nAnd the impact since then has been incredible.\r\n\r\nEvery day, I see my students put on their microphone headphones with confidence and purpose. During Amira reading assessments, their voices now record clearly, allowing the program to support them accurately. Students who used to get frustrated because their reading wasn't being picked up now smile as they see their scores improve. They can finally hear the modeled reading clearly and respond without background noise interfering.\r\n\r\nOur classroom environment has transformed during centers. During Freckle and other online programs, students stay focused and genuinely engaged. They love being able to speak into the microphone when prompted, and it gives them a sense of independence and responsibility. The overall noise level in the classroom has dropped dramatically, creating a calm space where every student can succeed.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just provide microphone headphones. It provided access. It provided equity. It provided pride. It provided a chance for every student to fully participate and shine. I am finally able to check for understanding from my students who are too shy to share in classroom discussions. \r\n\r\nOn behalf of my entire class, thank you for believing in my students and giving them the tools they deserve.
