Before receiving them, many of my students struggled to stay focused during independent and small-group work. With multiple lessons happening at once, background noise often made it difficult for students to concentrate or fully understand digital instruction. Having access to headphones has made a noticeable difference in our classroom.\r\n\r\nNow, students are able to tune out distractions and fully focus on their work. The headphones allow them to listen carefully to directions, instructional videos, and learning programs without interruptions. This has helped students stay on task longer, complete assignments more confidently, and feel more successful in their learning.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for students is how much easier it feels to concentrate. Several students who were previously distracted by noise are now more engaged and motivated. I've seen students who struggled to finish assignments before become more focused and proud of their work. This donation has truly changed the learning environment in our classroom, and we are incredibly thankful for the positive impact it has had on our students.","fullyFundedDate":1766094594572,"projectUrl":"project/turn-up-their-learning/9952307/","projectTitle":"Turn Up Their Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Farrell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9122009_orig.jpg?crop=500,500,x616,y455&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1739898691741","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9122009"},{"teacherId":1521068,"projectId":9382571,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of classroom decorations.

Because of your generosity, we received much-needed Chromebook chargers—and I cannot overstate how essential they have become to our daily success in the classroom.\r\n\r\nBefore this project was funded, we faced ongoing challenges with students' Chromebooks running out of battery during lessons, independent work, testing, and group projects. We had only a limited number of chargers available, and students often had to take turns charging their devices, which meant lost learning time, interrupted lessons, and a great deal of frustration for both students and myself. It's hard for students to stay focused or fully participate when their technology isn't functioning—and with so much of our curriculum being digital, having working devices is absolutely critical.\r\n\r\nNow, with a full set of reliable Chromebook chargers in the classroom, everything has changed for the better. Students are able to plug in quickly when needed, without waiting or borrowing from another room. We have designated charging stations, which keeps everything organized and accessible. Lessons flow smoothly, transitions are quicker, and students are more prepared for the day.\r\n\r\nThese chargers have made a huge difference during testing as well. During state assessments and digital learning programs that track student progress, having a fully charged Chromebook is non-negotiable. With our new chargers, we no longer have to worry about devices dying mid-assessment or students falling behind because their technology failed them. They can now focus fully on doing their best, knowing they're set up for success.\r\n\r\nThe chargers have also helped us support students who don't always have a working charger at home. Several students rely entirely on school technology, and before this project, a dead Chromebook sometimes meant a lost day of learning. Now, those students have reliable access and the peace of mind that they can stay connected and on track.\r\n\r\nMore importantly, this project has helped reinforce responsibility and independence in the classroom. Students know where the chargers are, how to use them appropriately, and when to charge proactively. They are more accountable for their learning tools, and I've seen a big improvement in how they manage their time and technology needs.\r\n\r\nYour donation may seem like a small item—just a set of chargers—but in reality, it has had a big impact on our daily routines, our access to learning, and the overall success of our classroom. It's the kind of support that keeps things running smoothly and allows students to stay focused, confident, and engaged.\r\n\r\nOn behalf of myself and my amazing students, thank you again for your generosity and support. You've helped solve a real problem in our classroom, and your kindness continues to make a difference every day.","fullyFundedDate":1757524788318,"projectUrl":"project/charged-up-and-tuned-in/9485297/","projectTitle":"Charged Up and Tuned In!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rogers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8132964_orig.png?crop=734,734,x0,y51&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759755467743","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8132964"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_61523","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":992,"numTeachers":61,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":78,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"16.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":73.1,"schoolId":61523,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Albert N Parlin School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Albert N Parlin School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/massachusetts/everett-public-schools/parlin-school/61523"}
