They were so happy to be able to choose which color they wanted to keep in their cubbies, with so many options from which to choose. My kids are taking such good care of them since they arrived. They are excited to get their headphones out of their cubbies after logging on daily, and they think they're cool with how the ear pieces fold in to make them more compact for storage. \r\nThese headphones are truly game changing compared to our old, worn out headphones we've be using and sharing for several years now. Having a jack to plug in rather than a usb has made it so much easier for my students. It may not seem like a big deal as we are so used to using usb plugs as adults, but those are difficult in regards to dexterity for many 5 year old children to plug in to Chromebooks that are also quite old with worn out ports as well. Thank you so much for your generosity, kindness, and support with our project, it's had a tremendously beneficial impact with our daily technology usage.","fullyFundedDate":1767128437548,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-for-kinders/9944720/","projectTitle":"Headphones for Kinders!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Schwarz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10374205"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_85211","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":383,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":30,"percentWhite":50,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"14.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":76.9,"schoolId":85211,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Horace Mann Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Horace Mann Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/dayton-public-school-district/horace-mann-pre-k-8-school/85211"}
