These tools are more than just technology; they are pathways to equity and inclusion.\r\n\r\nThe headphones with microphones allow students to actively participate in personalized learning programs, such as speech-to-text tools, reading fluency programs, and virtual lessons. For many of my students, this technology has been a game-changer in bridging the gap between their unique needs and the curriculum. By eliminating background noise and enhancing focus, the headphones create a tailored learning environment where students can thrive.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for my students has been the ability to hear and record their own voices during assignments. Many of them take immense pride in using the microphone to contribute to class discussions or complete assignments independently. This newfound autonomy has built confidence in their abilities.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have particularly warmed to the technology, using it to better articulate their ideas and engage in collaborative learning. Watching their enthusiasm and growth has been truly inspiring.\r\n\r\nYour support has provided these students not just tools, but opportunities to shine.

You should've seen my students' faces light up when they first got their hands on the microscopes - it was like Christmas morning! Even some of my kids who've dealt with long-term substitutes this year are totally engaged and excited to be here. There's something magical about watching a student discover an entirely new world through a microscope lens for the first time.\r\n\r\nWe've been using these new resources to dive deep into STEM careers through hands-on experiments, and let me tell you - it's been a game-changer. We're not just scratching the surface anymore; we're challenging our students with both foundational and advanced concepts, and they're rising to meet every challenge we throw at them. But here's the really exciting part - we've just started exploring sustainable energy, and my students are absolutely crushing it! They're building fully functioning robots powered by solar panels and wind turbines, and learning about energy transfer through mechanical systems. The other day, I overheard one student explaining to another how their solar-powered robot works, and I couldn't help but smile - these are the moments that remind me why I love teaching.\r\n\r\nYour support has opened up so many doors for these kids, and they're running full speed ahead through every single one. Thank you for helping make our classroom a place where curiosity thrives and future scientists and engineers are born.","fullyFundedDate":1724068807677,"projectUrl":"project/help-me-give-my-students-quality-after-s/8519840/","projectTitle":"Help Me Give My Students Quality After-School STEM Programming!","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Kish","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9608038"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_5652","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":313,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":83,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":79,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":19,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":70.1,"schoolId":5652,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about George Pullman Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"George Pullman Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/chicago-public-school-district-299/georgie-pullman-elementary-school/5652"}
