Students are especially excited to have their own headphones, which they use not only for assessments but also to listen to grade-level texts, podcasts, and while creating video clips to share their learning. Having access to these tools helps students stay focused, builds independence, and makes learning more engaging and accessible for everyone.\r\n\r\nOne especially exciting outcome has been seeing the impact these resources have on individual students. One student in our class has already jumped three levels in reading fluency after becoming an avid reader. She loves using the headphones to listen to more challenging texts, follow along as she reads, and even record and listen to herself reading. This process has helped build her confidence, stamina, and skills in a powerful way—and it's a clear example of how your generosity is directly changing student outcomes.\r\n\r\nYour support also made meaningful creative experiences possible. The colored pencils and art materials were used in projects like our \"Kindness Is Cool\" bulletin board, where students shared thoughtful ways they can show kindness to others at school and in their community. These activities help students express themselves, build empathy, and take pride in their work. We are truly grateful for your kindness and investment in our students' growth—academically and socially.","fullyFundedDate":1762267664576,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-for-digital-learning-and-asse/9864498/","projectTitle":"Headphones for Digital Learning and Assessments","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Snodgrass","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10335709_orig.jpg?crop=2611,2611,x758,y37&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1761845498154","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/shaun-snodgrass"},{"teacherId":5683622,"projectId":9749422,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our reading intervention groups!
