Headphones might not be the most exciting school supply, but you have no idea what a difference they make. \r\n\r\nFirstly, my students can now clearly hear subtle accents on words like object or record. This is huge because accent placement may change the meaning, and that is really tricky of you are an English learner or a struggling reader. \r\n\r\nSecondly, the use of headphones encourages a calmer, more focused learning environment. Without the headphones we were trying our best to keep each computer's volume high enough to hear, but not so high as to disrupt others. It was a never ending challenge of adjustments. \r\n\r\nThank you. These headphones are already helping us improve our reading skills.","fullyFundedDate":1737843350705,"projectUrl":"project/hear-to-read/8858008/","projectTitle":"Hear to Read","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. O'Connell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1980976_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1450307939336","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1980976"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_82407","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":364,"numTeachers":31,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":4,"percentLatinx":82,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"11.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":82407,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hayes Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hayes Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-mexico/albuquerque-public-schools/hayes-middle-school/82407"}
