My students were happy to have something \"just for them\" that felt both like a treat and a challenge.\r\n\r\nWe have been using these resources during our morning transition time and as an engaging option for fast finishers. It has been a joy to watch them dive into the puzzles and activities with such focus. \r\n\r\nBecause of your support, my students had a tangible way to keep their minds sharp and engaged during the hectic holiday season.

In a world where teachers and students often have to \"make do,\" your decision to invest in our classroom has provided us with a key tool we needed to succeed.\r\n\r\nYour gift has made an incredible difference in our classroom. These headphones have fundamentally changed the way my students interact with their curriculum. In a special needs classroom, learning is rarely \"one size fits all,\" and your gift has allowed us to embrace this. With these headphones, my students can now use audio-assisted reading and speech-to-text tools simultaneously without creating a chaotic environment. This has directly led to an increase in their stamina; students who previously became frustrated within minutes are now staying engaged for entire tutorial blocks because they can finally hear their lessons clearly and without the distraction of background noise.\r\n\r\nFrom a teaching perspective, these materials have revolutionized my small-group rotations. Previously, I had to limit the use of technology because the overlapping audio from different devices made it impossible for me to conduct a focused guided-reading group at the same time. Now, because each student is immersed in their own \"audio workspace,\" I can work intensely with a small group of learners while the rest of the class remains productive and independent. Your donation has effectively allowed me to be in \"two places at once,\" ensuring that every student gets the tailored support they deserve.","fullyFundedDate":1764687757282,"projectUrl":"project/tune-in-and-shine-on-headphones-for-foc/9837108/","projectTitle":"Tune In and Shine On: Headphones for Focused Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tyree","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9714876_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725056375374","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/tyree"},{"teacherId":7842681,"projectId":9919445,"letterContent":"My students were so excited to be able to participate in their very first compassion project.
