The headphones you provided are sturdy and will last a long time. \r\nThe students are now able to listen to their individualized computer program 'LEXIA' and 'ALEKS' during response to intervention time.

Being able to bring home a tasty treat is very beneficial to them. On another note I am able to use these treats as a reward for good behavior or exceeding expectations in the classroom. We are very lucky to be able to have these materials to help us out.","fullyFundedDate":1742413058489,"projectUrl":"project/tasty-rewards-are-beneficial/8993296/","projectTitle":"Tasty Rewards are Beneficial","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Kumiega","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3209845_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753121480940","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3209845"},{"teacherId":6635764,"projectId":8836245,"letterContent":"Thank you for all your support.
