I work at a title one school where most students do not have extra money to buy regular supplies like notebooks, pencils, pens, scissors, or glue sticks. My students normally don't come to school thinking that they need to have a pair of headphones. Headphones are actually essential, especially in the upper grades because they do a lot of work on their computers. One thing that they are essential for is taking diagnostic assessments at the beginning of the year And taking state assessments at the end of the year headphones. Every school year I have to purchase headphones with my own money to ensure that my students have the materials that they need for the entire school year. This project has really helped because as insured that every single one of my students has headphones and back up earbuds in case they lose or break their first pair thank you so much for supporting my students and my classroom this year. Your donation means the world to us.","fullyFundedDate":1754030146549,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-for-focus/9493698/","projectTitle":"Headphones for Focus","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Soto","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5510813_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753126784551","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5510813"},{"teacherId":5510813,"projectId":9484597,"letterContent":"My students get VAPA visual and performing arts twice a month, however, this year is theater.
