Your kindness has made a profound difference in our students' learning experience, and I am excited to share the impact it has had.\r\nSince the arrival of the listening center, our classroom has been transformed. Students who once struggled with reading fluency and comprehension now have a powerful tool that brings stories to life. The ability to listen to engaging narration while following along in their books has given them newfound confidence in their reading skills. The technology bridges the gap for students who need extra support, allowing them to hear proper pronunciation, pacing, and expression—skills essential for becoming strong readers.\r\nOne of the most exciting aspects of the listening center is how it has fostered a love of reading among our students. Many of them, especially reluctant readers, now eagerly gather around the center, headphones on, completely immersed in the world of stories.\r\nSeeing their face light up as they follow along with a story, nodding in understanding, and even excitedly discussing what they've read with classmates has been truly inspiring. Your generosity has given them—and so many others—the tools they need to succeed.\r\nThank you for believing in our students and for making a real, lasting impact on their education. Your support has not only provided technology but also opened doors to a world of possibility for our young readers. We are forever grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1735657693428,"projectUrl":"project/explore-the-magic-of-audio-stories/8780338/","projectTitle":"Explore the Magic of Audio Stories!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Anicia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9645549_orig.png?crop=982,982,x301,y117&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1731773271191","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9645549"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_62914","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":196,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":65,"percentAsian":14,"percentBlack":30,"percentWhite":15,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":29,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 1","studentTeacherRatio":"8.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.8,"schoolId":62914,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Henderson K-12 Inclusion School - Lower on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Henderson K-12 Inclusion School - Lower","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/boston-public-schools/patrick-o-hearn-elementary-school/62914"}
