In a classroom filled with activity, these tools help students focus during online lessons, independent practice, and assessments by reducing distractions and allowing them to clearly hear instructions and feedback. The microphones also support meaningful participation during interactive programs and using the speech-to-text feature when it comes to brainstorming their ideas for their essays or any writing assignments, helping students communicate their ideas with confidence. Students have also been able to practice their fluency independently. \r\n\r\nStudents are especially excited about having tools that make learning feel calmer and more accessible. Many have shared that they can concentrate better and feel more successful when using the headphones. For students who are easily distracted, need extra auditory support, or feel hesitant to speak up, this technology has been a game changer, giving them both a quiet space to learn and a stronger voice to share their thinking.\r\n\r\nYour donation has helped create a more inclusive and supportive learning environment where all students can fully engage and thrive. Thank you for investing in tools that empower our students to focus, participate, and believe in their ability to succeed.","fullyFundedDate":1760381324010,"projectUrl":"project/hearing-our-voices-finding-our-focus/9628932/","projectTitle":"Hearing Our Voices, Finding Our Focus","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Santillan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5794704_orig.png?crop=2316,2316,x0,y231&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755662578647","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5794704"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_3917","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":383,"numTeachers":16,"percentFrplEligible":58,"percentAsian":21,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":23,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"23.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":90.6,"schoolId":3917,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cleveland Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cleveland Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/oakland-unified-school-district/cleveland-elementary-school/3917"}
