Your contribution has made a meaningful difference in how my students engage with learning each day.\r\n\r\nWith access to individual headphones, students are now able to fully participate in technology-based activities without distractions. Whether they are listening to audiobooks, practicing language skills, watching instructional videos, or using interactive learning programs, the headphones allow them to focus and learn at their own pace. This has been especially impactful for students who benefit from auditory learning and for those who need a quieter environment to stay engaged.\r\n\r\nYour donation has also helped create a more inclusive classroom. Students who require additional support—such as English learners or those receiving differentiated instruction—can access content tailored to their needs without feeling singled out. The headphones give them independence and confidence as they work through lessons.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, this resource has improved our overall classroom environment. Noise levels are reduced, transitions between activities are smoother, and students are more motivated to use technology as a learning tool rather than a distraction.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students are better equipped to succeed in a modern, technology-rich learning environment. Thank you for investing in their education and helping them build skills they will carry far beyond the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1769177623206,"projectUrl":"project/helping-students-focus-and-succeed-with/9788312/","projectTitle":"Helping Students Focus and Succeed With Headphones for Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. McGee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6787861"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_25694","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":355,"numTeachers":21,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":16,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":82,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"16.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":93.8,"schoolId":25694,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Charles Bursch Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Charles Bursch Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/baldwin-park-unified-school-district/charles-bursch-elementary-school/25694"}
