These simple but powerful tools have opened up so many learning opportunities. With the headphones, students are able to fully engage in reading programs, phonics games, and language activities without distraction. They can focus on their own pace, hear directions clearly, and build confidence as independent learners. Technology is such an important part of their daily learning, and your support has ensured they can access it successfully.\r\n\r\nWhat excites the students most is being able to \"find their own voice.\" Whether recording themselves reading aloud or listening closely to stories, they light up when they hear how much they are growing. One student who was shy about reading now loves practicing with the headphones, because she feels more comfortable listening and repeating until she's ready to share aloud with the class. These small moments of growth are adding up to big changes in confidence and skills.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has made a lasting difference in our classroom. You've helped create an environment where every child can feel successful and heard, and I cannot thank you enough for supporting our little learners. We are deeply grateful for your belief in them and their future.","fullyFundedDate":1746503068654,"projectUrl":"project/helping-little-learners-find-their-voice/9297741/","projectTitle":"Helping Little Learners Find Their Voice!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Crawford","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6571367_orig.png?crop=1318,1318,x1314,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744166049443","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6571367"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_81130","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":582,"numTeachers":53,"percentFrplEligible":81,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":62,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":34,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 9","studentTeacherRatio":"11.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":57.8,"schoolId":81130,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Camden Street Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Camden Street Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/newark-public-schools/camden-street-elementary-school/81130"}
