Your donation of headphones has made a tremendous difference for my third graders. Before, many students struggled to focus during online Iready lessons because of background noise or because they had to share headphones. Now, each student can fully concentrate on their learning, whether they're practicing reading fluency, working on math lessons, or listening to interactive activities. These headphones have helped create a calm and focused learning environment where every child can thrive.\r\n\r\nMy students were SO excited to receive their own headphones-- they felt proud and responsible for their new learning tools! For many of them, this was their first time having access to quality headphones that made online programs enjoyable instead of frustrating. Programs like I-Ready, Read works, Edpuzzle, and Flocabulary have become student favorites, and I've already seen a boost in engagement and confidence during independent work time. Thank you again for supporting our classroom and showing my students that their learning matters-- you've helped set them up for success this school year and beyond.","fullyFundedDate":1762265304368,"projectUrl":"project/helping-every-student-hear-success/9578421/","projectTitle":"Helping Every Student Hear Success","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Beasley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4769465_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1531782047452","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/magickidneytable"},{"teacherId":9240646,"projectId":9275288,"letterContent":"We are thrilled to express our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support of our wellness project.
