Thanks to your generosity, each of my students now has access to quality headphones, and the difference has been truly incredible.\r\nWhile many people are used to using headphones at home for music or videos, in our classroom they've become essential learning tools. My students use them daily during independent reading, language arts programs, and math activities on their devices. The headphones allow them to focus on personalized instruction without distractions, and they're able to work at their own pace with clarity and confidence.\r\nWhat's most exciting to my students is the feeling of independence. They no longer have to worry about background noise or sharing devices—when they put on their headphones, they're in their own learning zone. It has helped them concentrate better, stay more engaged, and truly enjoy their lessons.\r\nOne student in particular, who usually struggles with focusing in a noisy environment, has shown amazing improvement. With headphones, he's been able to complete full lessons without interruptions and even told me, \"It feels like it's just me and the teacher talking.\" That kind of connection is powerful and it wouldn't have been possible without your support.\r\nThank you for bringing this technology into our classroom. You've given my students the tools to hear, focus, and thrive in their learning.","fullyFundedDate":1753375195908,"projectUrl":"project/loud-and-clear-headphones-for-learning/9304291/","projectTitle":"\"Loud and Clear: Headphones for Learning\"","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Heon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6966649_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753136459727","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/eheon"},{"teacherId":6966649,"projectId":9509928,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom and helping us bring Mail Center Magic: Organizing Our Learning to life! Because of your generosity, we were able to welcome a brand new wooden mailbox system with individual pull out drawers one for each student and it has already made a huge impact on how we stay organized and share our learning.\r\nThe day the mailbox arrived, my students were thrilled! You could see the excitement on their faces as they found the drawer with their class number on it. They couldn't wait to check their mailboxes for papers to take home everything from completed assignments to classroom newsletters and even special notes from me. It instantly gave them a sense of ownership and responsibility, and they love being the \"mail helper\" of the day who gets to deliver everyone's work.\r\nOne special moment that stands out: after finishing their first big project, students carefully placed it in their mailboxes to take home. Several of them said things like, \"I can't wait to show my family!\" It was a small act, but it gave them such pride in their hard work and a clear, organized way to bring their learning home.\r\nThanks to you, we've not only added a beautiful piece of furniture to our room, but a functional system that helps us stay organized and celebrate our learning. The next step is to integrate more student-created newsletters and class updates into our mail system, giving students more ownership and practice with real-world writing.\r\nYour generosity has brought joy, independence, and a touch of professionalism to our classroom.
