I am able to print out materials for them to see in color, and I am able to assist students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) who require pictures and visual supports to learn. Even though the students have devices, sometimes it can be a hassle trying to get them to watch videos and conduct research because they do not have headphones to hear. Having headphones helps students with IEPs and ILPs because they are able to watch videos and have assignments read aloud to them. The students are excited to have a class set of headphones. The pencils have also been a huge help because students always need basic supplies to complete assignments, take notes, annotate texts, and participate in classroom activities.","fullyFundedDate":1778262006232,"projectUrl":"project/digital-learning/10214212/","projectTitle":"Digital Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Strong","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10421750"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_125530","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":174,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":86,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.3,"schoolId":125530,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Memphis Business Academy-Hickory Hill Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Memphis Business Academy-Hickory Hill Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/tennessee/memphis-shelby-county-schools/memphis-business-hckry-hill-elementary-school/125530"}
