Your generosity has made a meaningful difference in our daily learning. When the students first received their own earbuds, they were thrilled and excited to use them. Having individual earbuds has helped them stay focused during independent work while allowing each student to learn at their own pace without distracting others.\r\n\r\nWe use the earbuds every day during reading and math lessons. Students listen to digital books, complete interactive learning activities, and watch instructional videos that reinforce the skills we are learning in class. The earbuds have been especially helpful for my English learners and students who benefit from hearing directions, stories, or lessons more than once. They have become more independent and confident as they work through assignments.\r\n\r\nAs we continue our learning this year, the earbuds will remain an important part of our classroom. Students will use them for research projects, online assessments, personalized practice, and small-group learning activities. Your kindness has provided my students with a valuable tool that supports learning every day. Thank you for believing in my students and helping create a classroom where every child has the opportunity to succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1777944099460,"projectUrl":"project/earbuds-for-technology-programs/10251635/","projectTitle":"Earbuds for Technology Programs","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Samartino","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1048878_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1449290715998","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-samartino"},{"teacherId":6576471,"projectId":9934741,"letterContent":"Thanks to your donation, we were able to purchase several Teachers Pay Teachers resources, including a bakery dramatic play.
