Your support has truly made a difference!\r\n\r\nThe new headphones have transformed the way our students learn Spanish. They now have the opportunity to engage in one-on-one practice with the Artificial Intelligence program provided through our textbooks. This allows them to hold real-time conversations in Spanish, building both their listening and speaking skills in a meaningful way.\r\n\r\nStudents also use the headphones to watch and rewatch educational videos in Spanish, pausing and replaying sections as needed. This individualized learning experience helps them take charge of their own progress.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, students who were once hesitant to speak Spanish now feel more comfortable and confident. The AI practice gives them a safe, low-pressure environment to make mistakes and improve—something that has truly boosted their enthusiasm for learning.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your kindness and support. You've helped create a more engaging and empowering learning experience for our students!","fullyFundedDate":1756059384118,"projectUrl":"project/developing-communication-skills/9640404/","projectTitle":"Developing Communication Skills","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Umbarila","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8374127_orig.png?crop=219,219,x0,y28&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755829137933","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8374127"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_58756","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":723,"numTeachers":53,"percentFrplEligible":35,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":13,"percentWhite":23,"percentIndigenous":8,"percentLatinx":43,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"13.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":81.2,"schoolId":58756,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Kyrene Middle School - IB Middle Years on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Kyrene Middle School - IB Middle Years","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/kyrene-school-district/kyrene-middle-school/58756"}
