Our class read Roller Girl together, it was very enjoyable! We made predictions and talked about character development. We discussed life choices, specifically our main character when she made some questionable decisions. We talked about what it means to grow up and feel proud of ourselves. \r\n\r\nStudents did a great job reading aloud as a class, we always had an abundance of volunteers. Probably over half of sixth graders read ahead to see what happened. It was an enjoyable group read for sure!

With the headphones, students are now able to fully engage with technology-based learning without distractions from surrounding noise. Each child can focus on their own lessons, whether it's practicing reading fluency, working through math programs, or listening to educational videos.\r\n\r\nThe headphones also make it easier for me to differentiate instruction. Students can work at their own pace on iReady, Lexia, or other digital platforms, while I meet with small groups or individual students without worrying about the whole class getting distracted. For my students who struggle with attention, the headphones help them stay on task longer and block out background noise.\r\n\r\nOverall, the donation has allowed my students to use technology in a more meaningful, personalized, and productive way. The headphones are helping create a quieter, more focused classroom environment where every student has the chance to succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1751724982902,"projectUrl":"project/listen-up-we-need-headphones/9269487/","projectTitle":"Listen Up!
