Your support has had an immediate and meaningful impact on our classroom, and we are incredibly grateful for your investment in our learners.\r\n\r\nWhile many people use technology at home, its role in the classroom can look a little different. These wireless headphones have helped our students focus more deeply on their learning by allowing them to engage with instructional videos, interactive lessons, and audio-based activities without distractions. Students can now work at their own pace—pausing, replaying, or reviewing content as needed—which has been especially helpful for students who benefit from hearing instructions more than once or who are developing reading skills.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for students has been the sense of independence and ownership the headphones provide. They love being able to move freely without tangled cords and to fully immerse themselves in their work. With our old headphones, so much of their time was spent trying to untangle the cords, they missed most of their work time! The wireless headphones help the students feel more engaged, and there is a noticeable increase in enthusiasm when technology-based lessons are introduced.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity and for believing in our students. Your support has made a lasting difference in our classroom, and we are so appreciative of your commitment to education.","fullyFundedDate":1763474842568,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-untangle-this-problem/9847764/","projectTitle":"Help us untangle this problem!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jennings","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2185130_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1529430511092","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2185130"},{"teacherId":2185130,"projectId":9092148,"letterContent":"My students and I want to say a huge THANK YOU for supporting our project and helping me get the 3D pens into their hands.
