The technology you provided has allowed them to engage with their learning in ways that were previously out of reach.\r\n\r\nThe new headphones have been an essential addition, empowering students to independently listen to instructional videos and use text-to-speech tools when reading or writing. This has been especially beneficial for students who need additional language or literacy support—they can now access materials at their own pace and with greater confidence. It's been incredible to see how this technology has made lessons more dynamic and inclusive for every learner.\r\n\r\nThe new chargers have also made a huge difference. In the past, losing power meant students had to stop working or share devices, disrupting their focus. Now, students can keep their Chromebooks charged and ready throughout the day, ensuring uninterrupted learning and productivity.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most is the independence and flexibility these tools bring. They love being able to plug in, put on their headphones, and dive into their assignments without waiting for help or equipment. A few of my students who were previously hesitant to participate in digital learning have really warmed up to technology—they're now eager to explore new programs, create projects, and even help their peers troubleshoot.\r\n\r\nThank you for supporting our classroom and helping every student find their voice through technology. Your contribution has truly made a lasting impact!","fullyFundedDate":1755733573851,"projectUrl":"project/low-battery-high-volume/9574694/","projectTitle":"Low Battery, High Volume","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Stanford","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7841272_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1641438341037","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7841272"},{"teacherId":8068916,"projectId":9462950,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our students are experiencing a whole new level of focus and engagement in the classroom! The headphones you provided have become an essential learning tool that helps every student stay on task and fully immerse themselves in their lessons.\r\n\r\nWhile many of you may use headphones at home for music or work calls, in our classroom they serve a much bigger purpose. The technology allows students to concentrate on their own learning without distractions, whether they're listening to audiobooks to strengthen reading comprehension, following along with math tutorials, or engaging in language and literacy activities. For our younger learners and those who need extra support, the ability to clearly hear instructions and practice at their own pace has made a huge difference.\r\nThe most exciting part for our students is how the headphones give them a sense of independence. They love being able to dive into interactive lessons, focus on their assignments, and even explore educational games without background noise interrupting their concentration. You can see their confidence grow as they take ownership of their learning time.\r\n\r\n\r\nYour support has had a direct and visible impact on our students' success. These headphones may seem like a small addition, but they have made a big difference in helping our learners feel capable, confident, and excited to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1753481271167,"projectUrl":"project/turning-up-the-volume-on-learning/9462950/","projectTitle":"Turning Up the Volume on Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lundquist","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8068916_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1683949468821","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8068916"},{"teacherId":10044205,"projectId":9380395,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous contributions to our project, \"A Clean Room is a Learning Room.\" Your support has provided us with essential cleaning materials and basic school supplies, creating a safe and welcoming environment where my students can focus on learning without worry.\r\n\r\nThe Power of Electromagnets\r\nThis project has directly impacted our science class. We've been using the new supplies to build electromagnets. Students are using materials, such as wires, nails, and batteries, to explore the relationship between electricity and magnetism firsthand. This has brought our lessons to life in a way that wouldn't have been possible before.\r\n\r\nThe moment my students first saw their homemade electromagnets work was truly memorable. Their eyes lit up with a mix of surprise and excitement as they watched their coiled nails attract and pick up metal paper clips. It's one thing to read about scientific principles in a textbook, but it's another entirely to create a powerful invisible force with your own hands. This hands-on experience has sparked a new level of curiosity and engagement in my classroom.\r\n\r\nWhat's Next for Our Scientists?\r\nNow that our students understand the basics of building an electromagnet, the next step is to explore how to increase its strength. We will be conducting a series of experiments to test different variables, such as the number of wire coils and the type of metal core. Students will be making hypotheses, collecting data, and analyzing their results to see which variables have the biggest impact.\r\nYour generosity has given my students the resources they need to not only learn about science but to become active young scientists themselves. Thank you again for being a part of our classroom community.","fullyFundedDate":1750282807425,"projectUrl":"project/a-clean-room-is-a-learning-room/9380395/","projectTitle":"A Clean Room is a Learning Room","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Dzur","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10044205"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_108623","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1134,"numTeachers":77,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":42,"percentWhite":34,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"14.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":68.8,"schoolId":108623,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Robert Anderson Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Robert Anderson Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-carolina/anderson-school-district-five/robert-anderson-college-and-career-academy/108623"}
