In our classroom, adaptive programs for reading, writing, and math are powerful tools — but without headphones, the noise quickly became overwhelming. Now, each student can slip on a pair, block out distractions, and concentrate fully on their own learning. The calm and quiet this has created in our classroom has been transformative.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most is how easy it is to hear directions clearly and focus on their tasks without interruption. One multilingual learner told me, \"I can hear my reading, not the whole class,\" and for him, that difference has meant greater confidence and independence. Families also feel relief knowing that their children have what they need at school without the financial strain of purchasing expensive headphones themselves.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, my students have a more focused, supportive environment where every learner can succeed without barriers — and families know their children are fully equipped to thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1742941895343,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-for-focus-growth-equity/9204138/","projectTitle":"Headphones for Focus, Growth & Equity","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Uncle","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8512576_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757639780423","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mikejohnpat"},{"teacherId":8512576,"projectId":9205928,"letterContent":"When our new flexible seating arrived, my students were thrilled to try it out. They immediately gravitated toward the wobble stools, cushions, and floor seating, excited that they could choose where they felt most comfortable learning.\r\n\r\nSince then, the seating has made a big difference. Students are more focused and engaged, and even those who usually struggle to sit still are staying with their groups longer. The new options have helped create a classroom where students feel calm, respected, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students a learning environment that truly meets their needs.","fullyFundedDate":1753203514132,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-seating-for-special-education-l/9205928/","projectTitle":"Flexible Seating for Special Education Learning Center","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Uncle","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8512576_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757639780423","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mikejohnpat"},{"teacherId":395767,"projectId":8994407,"letterContent":"We are so grateful to you for your unconditional support of our students' education. Without you, Dear Donors, my students would have a hard time understanding some of the work that require using a good quality of the headphones. During this harsh time most of my students go through, your contribution motivates them to see that someone else besides their families cares about their education. I got more students from Ukraine and they kids are happy in America, feel safe, and enjoy the schooling we offer. \r\nWhen I shared with my new students about your support, they were fascinated. Overall, all my students and me as a teacher highly appreciate your support.
