I wanted to write to explain how your contribution has impacted my class. \r\n\r\nUsing headphones in the classroom helps students focus by reducing background noise and distractions. The headphones allow each student to independently engage with personalized instruction at their own pace. Every student can concentrate and participate fully with their work. \r\n\r\nIn the photos, you will see the headphones, which arrived quickly and in time for the start of the year. The students have easy access to their own set, and since I took the photos, the headphones have been numbered so each scholar knows where their set is. The scholars were especially excited about the variety of colors, which made the experience even more fun and personal for them. \r\n\r\nYour kindness has made a meaningful difference in their learning journey.","fullyFundedDate":1755713781639,"projectUrl":"project/my-own-headphones/9435167/","projectTitle":"My Own Headphones","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Paul","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10064683"},{"teacherId":8076621,"projectId":9037602,"letterContent":"After using the PocketTalk at the end of the last school year and at the start of this school year, we are proud to say that the devices have made communications with our parents and students so much smoother. \r\n\r\nFrom students who are new to the English language, to students who want to clarify what they want to say in their home language, teachers are able to understand what they want to say and what their needs are with these devices. They have them easily accessible and can reach for them when needed.","fullyFundedDate":1746489250123,"projectUrl":"project/english-language-access-for-students/9037602/","projectTitle":"English Language Access for Students","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Xia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8076621_orig.jpg?crop=809,810,x0,y207&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736445370009","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8076621"},{"teacherId":10249734,"projectId":9700495,"letterContent":"Our students are most excited about tools that make their thinking visible and learning hands-on. The Pocketalk translator helps us connect with multilingual learners and families in real time. Primary journals, magnetic sentence strips, and a reliable sharpener turn small-group ENL time into confident writing and speaking practice. Storage bins keep sensory and literacy centers organized, and disinfecting supplies help us reset stations quickly for the next group. With Post-it easel pads and bold markers, we can create anchor charts and display student work so everyone can follow along.

The headphones allowed students to focus more effectively during digital learning sessions, helping them engage with educational content at their own pace without distractions. Extra dry erase markers brought excitement to lessons, encouraging students to try their best to show their thinking on their white boards. The lamination paper helped preserve important learning materials, making them reusable and durable for hands-on learning. These supplies may seem simple, but they became essential tools that supported both teaching and learning every day.\r\n\r\nThe students were genuinely thrilled by these additions to their classroom. Especially now that every student has a pair of durable headphone that work without any issues. The laminated charts, flashcards, and activity sheets added a fun and lasting touch to lessons, making learning more engaging and organized.
