They have seen these things online and are proud these items are part of our collection of tools. \r\n\r\nIn addition, they were excited to see the motivational swag: cowbells, bracelets, popsicles, and stickers.

Below I would like to share some examples of how the students have been engaging and using them.\r\n\r\nThe 30 headphones class set has been a really amazing resource in my Science and Proscience classes for completing work at their own pace, as a reward to work completion, or providing a calming environment to focus or dysregulated. These tools have helped support specific students who need accommodations for effectively focusing in class or need time to re regulate due to over stimulation. It has been helpful for the headphones and putting on favorite music or calming sounds.\r\n\r\nWhen students are working on individual lab simulations, videos, and nearpod activities, students are able to independently go through the assignments at their own pace, being able to listen to the instructions and interactive applications on their chromebook screens. When students are working on projects, they have asked if they can listen to their own music through the headphones. Allowing them to listen to music while working on a project has given them a trust for me to reward them with a positive incentive and a trust for them to use their time effectively to work on their projects. At times, when students are finished with their work, they are also able to sit in our comfy corner and listen to music. They look forward to the decompression time when they have met all of the instructions and expectations of the class.\r\n\r\nTo the donor through DonorsChoose that has helped our class support our students' learning needs through giving them extra special tools for them to complete their work or set up a positive learning environment has been so appreciated.\r\n\r\nThank you so much!","fullyFundedDate":1735345928582,"projectUrl":"project/independent-lab-aids-listening/8772185/","projectTitle":"Independent Lab Aids Listening","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Belardo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9631369"},{"teacherId":9299873,"projectId":8576880,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of supplies, materials, and support.
