Of course, for the school year, I label a bag for each student so they have \"their own\". \r\n\r\n I did not know how much the purchase of new headphones could help improve the overall demeanor of my special education students, but it was a tremendous increase in overall behaviors just using headphones that were comfortable to their ears.","fullyFundedDate":1775756111662,"projectUrl":"project/help-get-ready-for-end-of-the-year-testi/10184734/","projectTitle":"Help get ready for end of the year testing!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Moore","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9021468"},{"teacherId":9021468,"projectId":10288123,"letterContent":"My students do not see having new curriculum as a benefit, but I sure do.
