They give my students hands-on opportunities to begin practicing writing skills in a fun and interactive way. These tools foster independence and creativity while reinforcing letter recognition, fine motor skills, and self-expression.\r\n\r\nIn my classroom, reading is never limited—it is celebrated.

We were beyond blessed to have been able to receive our class set of beautiful and colorful headphones. Most of out learning in class is computer based and students are required to wear headphones in order to listen to the instructions of their program.\\Having these headphones not only made our daily computer time more efficient but also students had their own headphones which would definitely make a difference given we are staying away from sharing personal items due to Covid spread. My students were so happy when we first got the headphones. Many of them had never had their own brand new pair. This was definitely an incentive to work hard and do well. It motivated them to take ownership and care for their set throughout the year and it also became a gift to take with them to the next grade level. \r\nOnce again, Thank you so much. These were a \"GREAT HIT\" and they because a special item in our class. Everyone who came in and saw them in use couldn't help but to complement them.","fullyFundedDate":1660750319210,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-for-success/6582571/","projectTitle":"Headphones For SUCCESS!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Reyes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5565075_272x272.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1532454096037","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/reyes227"},{"teacherId":2152315,"projectId":7106885,"letterContent":"With your help students were engaged throughout the entire project.
