Because of your kindness, my students have access to headphones that have made a meaningful difference in our daily classroom routines. Your support has helped create a learning environment where my scholars can stay focused, work independently, and receive instruction that meets their individual academic needs.\r\n\r\nThe headphones have been especially beneficial during our technology-based learning activities, including i-Ready Reading and Math lessons. With students working at different academic levels, having their own headphones allows them to listen to personalized instruction without distractions from their classmates. My scholars can hear directions clearly, engage with interactive lessons, and practice important reading and math skills at their own pace. These opportunities are especially valuable as we continue strengthening foundational skills and preparing for the Alabama Comprehensive Assessment Program (ACAP).\r\n\r\nOne of the greatest benefits has been watching my students become more independent and confident in their learning. Having access to headphones allows them to take greater ownership of their assignments, concentrate on challenging tasks, and participate more effectively in digital learning activities. These headphones are more than just classroom supplies; they are tools that help remove barriers to learning and give every scholar an opportunity to succeed.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher at a Title I school, I am incredibly grateful for individuals like you who recognize the importance of providing students with the resources they deserve. Your generosity continues to make a difference in our classroom, and I hope you know how much your support means to both my students and me.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in my Sanders Superstars and helping them shine brighter each day! 🌟","fullyFundedDate":1763603634774,"projectUrl":"project/listening-to-learn-empowering-3rd-grade/9826179/","projectTitle":"Listening to Learn: Empowering 3rd-Grade Scholars","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sanders","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10311194"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_14427","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":634,"numTeachers":35,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":95,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"18.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":53.8,"schoolId":14427,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sun Valley Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sun Valley Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alabama/birmingham-city-schools/sun-valley-elementary-school/14427"}
