My first-grade classroom of 21 bright and eager learners have enjoyed the simplicity of wearing their headphones without having to deal with the frustration of the cords. These headphones have made an incredible impact on both our tablet routines and the overall learning experience. With the ability to work independently on digital learning platforms, such as reading and phonics programs, students are now more focused and engaged without the distraction of background noise and the bothersome cords. This has significantly improved the quality of instruction, as I can work with small groups or individuals while others remain immersed in their own learning experiences. The wireless feature has also made our classroom safer and more organized, eliminating tangled cords and allowing for more flexible seating options.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, these headphones have helped to foster a greater sense of independence and confidence in my students. They are excited to use them during centers, reading activities, and even mindfulness sessions, where the calming audio helps them self-regulate and refocus. For some of my students who need additional support, the headphones have become a vital tool in allowing them to access personalized content at their own pace. Thank you for investing in our classroom, you've made a lasting difference in the way my students learn and grow each day.","fullyFundedDate":1744033088943,"projectUrl":"project/sound-solutions/9180081/","projectTitle":"Sound Solutions","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Drake","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8316101_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1691766059644","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ashley-drake"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_87149","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":451,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":52,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":72,"percentIndigenous":6,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 2","studentTeacherRatio":"19.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":71.4,"schoolId":87149,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Perkins - Tryon Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Perkins - Tryon Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oklahoma/perkins-tryon-public-schools/perkins-elementary-school/87149"}
