They have already made a huge difference! My students now have easy access to online materials and can listen to educational videos, podcasts, and digital textbooks without distraction. This has made my classroom more equitable, as every student now has the tools they need to fully engage with our curriculum, no matter their learning style. We have been able to listen to read-alouds and complete tech-based projects with greater ease, allowing for more individualized learning and creativity.\r\n\r\nThe headphones have also been a game-changer for collaboration. Students can work together on group projects that require sound, like creating podcasts or editing videos, without disrupting their classmates. This has fostered a more cooperative and focused learning environment. Your generosity has provided my students with the resources they need to thrive in a digital world, and we are so grateful for your support in making our classroom a more inclusive and productive space.","fullyFundedDate":1757527962088,"projectUrl":"project/help-6th-graders-learn-and-thrive-with-h/9407026/","projectTitle":"Help 6th Graders Learn and Thrive with Headphones","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Blowers","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10053772"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_71663","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":933,"numTeachers":62,"percentFrplEligible":22,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":82,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":9,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 7","studentTeacherRatio":"15.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":83.9,"schoolId":71663,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sashabaw Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sashabaw Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/clarkston-community-school-district/sashabaw-middle-school/71663"}
