My students use the resource you provided every single day. They have been beyond helpful! The headphones have helped my students maintain focus on their work and block outside distractions. They allow students to listen to educational content at their own pace, and rewind or pause as needed to better understand the material. \r\n As an educator, I have been able to use the headphones as a valuable tool to differentiate instruction. Since each student has their very own set of headphones, they can each complete their assigned task independently without outside noise to interfere. They can adjust the volume and other settings to better suit their learning needs. This has been especially beneficial for my students that have a hard time focusing in noisy environments. They have also been very helpful for the students that utilize language tools in the classroom, like voice recording and voice repetition.\r\n It has been great to see the sense of responsibility my students have by taking care of their headphones. They feel proud and grown-up every time they use them and when they put them away at the end of the day. As an educator, I thank you so much for your support. Without your help my students wouldn't have had access to this invaluable resource. My students and I will be forever thankful.","fullyFundedDate":1733348658496,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-to-support-learning/8699521/","projectTitle":"Headphones to Support Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gonzalez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8440513_orig.jpg?crop=1378,1378,x69,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651548464666","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8440513"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_7576","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":285,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":18,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":77,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":85.1,"schoolId":7576,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Martin Luther King Junior Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Martin Luther King Junior Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/martin-luther-king-junior-elementary-school/7576"}
