I'm grateful to share how this project is already impacting our students.\r\nThe new technology, along with the headphones, is helping students engage with lessons more deeply and independently. It allows for hands-on practice, immediate feedback, and differentiated activities so students can work at the right level and pace. Headphones have made it possible for learners to focus in shared spaces, follow audio instructions clearly, and use multimedia tools without distracting others.\r\n What excites students most is how the product makes learning feel more relevant and fun. They enjoy collaborating on projects, seeing instant results from their work, and using features that let them create and demonstrate understanding in different ways through videos, digital presentations, and interactive simulations.\r\nWe've seen particular growth among students who were previously less motivated by traditional classroom tasks. Students with varying learning needs have warmed to the technology because it offers multiple ways to access and show learning. One shy student who rarely spoke up in class has begun sharing videos and digital projects with peers; a small group of struggling readers are showing stronger comprehension after using their headphone that reads the stories to them; and several students who are typically disengaged are now seeking extra time with the devices to explore topics that interest them.\r\n Thank you again for making these opportunities possible. Your thoughtful addition of headphones is changing classroom experiences and helping students build skills and confidence they will carry forward. Thank you, your gift is already making a difference.","fullyFundedDate":1760376877558,"projectUrl":"project/shining-stars/9790106/","projectTitle":"Shining Stars","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Avelar","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7236680"},{"teacherId":8421763,"projectId":9449985,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom with this project. The headphones you helped provide have already made a meaningful difference in how my students learn each day. In our classroom, technology allows students to access reading programs, math practice, audiobooks, and instructional videos that are tailored to their individual learning levels. With headphones, students can clearly hear directions and lessons without distractions, which helps them stay focused, understand content better, and work at their own pace. This has made our technology time far more productive and inclusive for all learners.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for my students is having their own way to connect with learning. They love being able to fully immerse themselves in lessons, especially when listening to stories, practicing reading fluency, or watching educational videos. Many students have shared that it feels easier to concentrate and that they enjoy learning more when they can truly hear and understand what's being taught. Something as simple as headphones has made learning feel more engaging and empowering for them.\r\n\r\nI've especially seen growth in students who need extra support with reading, language development, or attention. Some students who used to struggle to stay focused during technology time are now more confident and independent learners. They're excited to log in, follow along, and complete tasks successfully. Your generosity has helped create a calmer, more supportive learning environment where every student feels capable and valued.

Because of your generosity, our classroom is now filled with even more smiles, focus, and creativity. The moment the materials arrived, my TK/K students were buzzing with excitement—you would've thought it was a holiday morning! They couldn't wait to explore everything, from the colorful markers to the new sensory tools.\r\n\r\nThe fidget items and sensory toys have been especially impactful. I've watched students who once struggled to focus now use these tools to self-regulate and return to learning more calmly and confidently. One student in particular, who often found transitions difficult, now takes a short sensory break with a favorite calming toy and returns to group activities with a big smile. These tools have helped foster a more inclusive and supportive classroom environment.\r\n\r\nThe new dry erase materials, crayons, and headphones are also in constant use. During our morning centers, students eagerly grab their sheet protectors and markers to practice writing letters, tracing shapes, or solving puzzles. The headphones have created a more focused space during listening activities—especially for language learners—and the snacks and small rewards have been perfect motivators, turning everyday achievements into joyful celebrations.\r\n\r\nThanks to your kindness, my students are not only learning but thriving. You've made our classroom a place of comfort, creativity, and growth—and for that, we are deeply grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1746786504608,"projectUrl":"project/joy-and-learning-classroom-supplies-f/9035679/","projectTitle":"Joy and Learning: Classroom Supplies & Fun for Every Student!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Leyva","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9768031_orig.png?crop=202,202,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757049301505","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9768031"},{"teacherId":8499995,"projectId":9187876,"letterContent":"The \"Motivating Minds: A Prize Chest for Student Success\" project has made a tremendous difference in my classroom.
