They are collecting insects on the playground to observe and then release as well!\r\n\r\nThese enrichment activities wouldn't be possible without your generous support.

This project had one purpose - allowing our school to have a stock of headphones for students to use while working on their computers - taking mandated tests, working on class assignments, or using educational programs that require listening to passages and questions read and spoken to them.\r\n\r\nThe technology students use in school vary in application. All our mandated assessments are online, and many of the assessments read directions, passages, questions, etc to students depending on the content. Headphones are a necessary tool so that all students can focus on what they are individually doing, while not disrupting the other students. This same concept applies to when students are working on learning applications and programs, or even just focusing to complete essays - the headphones can help quiet disruptions common around the classroom.\r\n\r\nThese headphones are already being used! We just finished with our state-mandated testing, and many headphones from this project were used for this testing.","fullyFundedDate":1743180557277,"projectUrl":"project/i-cant-hear-it/9139277/","projectTitle":"I Can't Hear It!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gryzynger","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp679439_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1500423624125","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/gryzynger"},{"teacherId":679439,"projectId":9061341,"letterContent":"My early learners LOVE the new materials you were able to provide us through this project.\r\n\r\nMy young learners are working with identifying letters and producing accurate sounds from those letters, building the fundamentals and foundational skills to become great readers. \r\n\r\nThe students love the materials, and ask to use them often. The materials help make learning engaging and fun. When working with students, I use one of the alphabet games to start off with, engaging them in learning all their letters and letter sounds.
