My students were very excited when they received their own individual set of headphones. Not only were they able to choose the color of headphones they wanted, but because many of my students are from temporary housing, they also received an individual baggie with their name on it to allow for personalization. This allowed them to feel that something can belong to them which made the moments of providing them bittersweet. Many were very grateful for something which we think is so minor but to them meant so much more. Again thank you for allowing this moment.","fullyFundedDate":1758898830411,"projectUrl":"project/an-ear-resistable-approach-to-building-a/9565377/","projectTitle":"An Ear-resistable Approach to Building A Love For Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Reyes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9525935_orig.png?crop=376,376,x10,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755543531612","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9525935"},{"teacherId":9783974,"projectId":9094126,"letterContent":"I am deeply grateful for your generous contribution to my classroom and my students.
