I bought headphones at the beginning of the year and have 4 pairs left and it's only December. 😬 With that being said, I asked for a new classroom set of headphones. I found some heavy-duty headphones that will hopefully last much longer than the ones I purchased at the beginning of the year. These extra pairs that I received, will be for those who have broken their personal pair of headphones or those that didn't bring any headphones to class. \r\n We know working a touchpad on a Chromebook isn't the easiest thing to do and students don't have a mouse to use unless they bring one from home- but these aren't required. I like to have a classroom set of mice to keep on hand if a student needs one to make navigating the Chromebook better. I'm hoping these will last for a few years as well.\r\n I just want to say thank you to every one of you who donated to help fund my project. It can get pretty expensive when we have to buy our own supplies for our classroom so this funding helps out tremendously!!","fullyFundedDate":1734061643942,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-and-mice/8999450/","projectTitle":"Headphones and Mice","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Emery","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5961204_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1539143669749","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5961204"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_27908","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":140,"numTeachers":11,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":88,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"3 - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"12.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":83.3,"schoolId":27908,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lincoln Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lincoln Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/johnston-city-community-unit-school-district-1/lincoln-elementary-school/27908"}
