It's great that every student has their own pair so they can all be working on the same activity at the same time. \r\n\r\nWe also have many learners that process differently, and many who use the text to speech function on their computers. Because of your donations, they have all been able to listen to long texts being read aloud to them and watch videos that give them real-world applications to the things they are learning in the classroom.\r\n\r\nYour donations had a large impact on my work at the end of last year. I was able to have enough headphones for our required state testing and our students exceeded expectations by growing 35% in math! I am so proud of their hard work and I thank you for being part of our culture of excellence at my school site.","fullyFundedDate":1746890042120,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-focused-minds/9285204/","projectTitle":"Headphones = Focused Minds","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tokirio","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6860601"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_98635","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":204,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":94,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":80.9,"schoolId":98635,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about ICEF Vista Middle Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"ICEF Vista Middle Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/icef-vista-middle-academy/98635"}
