During learning labs, students use their headphones for phonics and reading practice on their laptops, allowing each child to focus and work at their own pace. The pencil pouches have helped them stay organized by keeping all their supplies in one place—crayons, pencils, and erasers—ready for learning. One special moment was watching my students proudly show how they could unpack and repack their materials all by themselves; it was a wonderful display of responsibility and independence!\r\n\r\nTheir excitement was priceless! As soon as the boxes were opened, their eyes lit up with smiles and cheers. Several students immediately wanted to test their headphones, while others couldn't wait to pick out their new pencil pouches. It felt like a celebration—each child felt seen, supported, and valued.\r\n\r\n\r\nOur next big step is applying these tools during our Iready assessments. Students are using their headphones to focus on showing and applying their knowledge about content they have learned thus far. We'll also continue using the snacks you provided to ensure that every child has the fuel they need to stay focused and energized throughout the day.","fullyFundedDate":1749215562955,"projectUrl":"project/meet-the-needs-to-succeed/9289360/","projectTitle":"Meet the Needs to Succeed","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Page","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6562700_orig.jpg?crop=2600,2600,x423,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1575386734791","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6562700"},{"teacherId":5275564,"projectId":9141696,"letterContent":"When our students first saw the variety of snacks, their faces lit up with excitement!

Many of our students rely on technology-based programs for reading, math, and language development, and having personal headphones has made a remarkable difference. With fewer distractions and clearer sound, students can now fully engage with educational content tailored to their individual needs. Whether they're participating in phonics lessons, listening to audiobooks, or working through math problems, the ability to hear crisp, undisturbed audio has greatly improved their concentration and comprehension.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting parts for our students is simply the independence these headphones allow. They love having their own learning space, even in a busy classroom. For example, one student who typically struggles with focus during group lessons has shown increased stamina during independent work sessions since receiving the headphones. Another student with a speech and language delay has become more confident using speech-to-text tools and interactive language apps, thanks to the clear audio input and output. These tools are more than just accessories — they are bridges to success, helping each student engage with learning in a way that works best for them.\r\n\r\nThank you again for investing in our students. Your contribution has given them more than just headphones — you've given them the gift of a focused mind and a chance to thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1738799549233,"projectUrl":"project/clear-minds-clear-sound-headphones-for/8974713/","projectTitle":"Clear Minds, Clear Sound: Headphones for Learning Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Griffo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5275564_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y115&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1619565146562","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5275564"},{"teacherId":8987958,"projectId":8993184,"letterContent":"Thank you for your help in ensuring my scholars have the snacks they need each day.
