Your support has made a meaningful difference in the daily learning experiences of my students.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most about the headphones is the independence they provide. They love being able to access digital learning activities on their own and feel empowered to work at their own pace. Whether they are listening to an audiobook, practicing math facts, or participating in a literacy intervention program, the headphones make learning more interactive, enjoyable, and personalized.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have especially benefited from this new technology. Some of my emerging readers are more confident because they can listen to text read aloud while following along on the screen. Students who are easily distracted are now able to focus better and remain engaged in lessons for longer periods of time. I have also noticed that some of my quieter students participate more actively in digital learning activities because they feel comfortable working independently with their headphones.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students have access to tools that support their academic growth, build their confidence, and increase their enthusiasm for learning. Thank you for believing in our classroom and investing in our students' success. Your kindness is helping create opportunities for children to learn, grow, and reach their full potential every day.\r\n\r\nWith sincere gratitude,\r\n\r\nAlexandra Chiusano","fullyFundedDate":1769192000841,"projectUrl":"project/hear-us-out-headphones-for-happy-second/10011567/","projectTitle":"HEAR Us Out: Headphones for Happy Second Grade Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Chiusano","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8836268"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_108925","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":252,"numTeachers":14,"percentFrplEligible":87,"percentAsian":10,"percentBlack":43,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":38,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"18.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":69.0,"schoolId":108925,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Jamaica Children's Magnet School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Jamaica Children's Magnet School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/pre-k-center-at-109-20-union-hall-street-public-school-40-/108925"}
