Speaking in front of others can be nerve-racking for many children. In the past, some students hesitated to participate because they were unsure of their pronunciation or worried about making mistakes. With the headphones and microphones, that fear has significantly decreased. Students are eager for their turn to use the equipment. There is a noticeable shift in energy during speaking activities — hands go up more quickly, participation has increased, and students approach assignments with greater enthusiasm. The headphones have made speaking practice feel special, focused, and safe.\r\n\r\nOur English learners have benefited the most from this new technology. For students who are still developing their English language skills, speaking aloud in front of peers can feel especially vulnerable. The headphones provide a supportive space where they can practice at their own pace. They are able to record themselves multiple times, listen carefully, and adjust their pronunciation without pressure. This repetition builds both language skills and confidence. We are already seeing growth in fluency, clearer pronunciation, and a greater willingness to participate in class discussions.\r\nBeyond academic improvement, the emotional impact has been just as powerful. When students hear themselves improving, their confidence grows. They begin to see themselves as capable communicators. \r\n\r\nThat confidence carries over into other subjects and social interactions. Students who once spoke quietly or avoided participation are now volunteering answers and engaging more fully with their peers.\r\n\r\nYour donation is helping our students find their voices — literally and figuratively. You have given them a tool that supports growth, courage, and independence. The impact of your generosity reaches far beyond a single lesson; it is shaping how students see themselves as learners and communicators.\r\n\r\nWe are truly grateful for your support and belief in our students. Thank you for making this meaningful difference in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1765198530240,"projectUrl":"project/an-ear-resistible-choice-for-testing-com/9915995/","projectTitle":"An Ear-Resistible Choice for Testing Comfort","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Oberkfell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2399531_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y324&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651191394738","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/joberkfell"},{"teacherId":2399531,"projectId":9102423,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation that provided my students with the essential USB connections to link their headsets to their Chromebooks.
