While headphones may seem simple, they play an important role in helping students focus and engage with learning technology. Students use them during reading, math, and listening activities, allowing them to hear instructions clearly and work independently without distractions. This has helped create a calmer, more focused learning environment where students can better concentrate and succeed.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most about the headphones is the sense of independence they provide. Students love being able to listen to stories, lessons, and directions at their own pace. They feel proud putting on their headphones and getting right to work, and many see it as a special responsibility. The headphones also make learning more fun and immersive, especially during interactive programs and read-alouds, where students can fully hear every detail.\r\n\r\nThe headphones have been especially impactful for students who need extra support with attention, language development, or confidence. English language learners benefit from hearing lessons clearly and replaying audio as needed, while other students who are easily distracted can stay focused longer. Because of your donation, all students now have equal access to learning opportunities, and they feel empowered, confident, and excited to learn each day.\r\n\r\n---","fullyFundedDate":1700000273369,"projectUrl":"project/listen-to-me-and-watch-me-work/8017025/","projectTitle":"Listen to Me and Watch Me Work!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hunter","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8136772_orig.jpg?crop=489,488,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1634837410507","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8136772"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_97026","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":465,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":50,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":32,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"25.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":60.5,"schoolId":97026,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Quest Preparatory Academy - NW on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Quest Preparatory Academy - NW","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/nevada-department-of-education/imagine-school-in-the-valle/97026"}
