When they first saw the colorful headphones, you'd have thought we were handing out gold! The excitement was real—especially from students who normally struggle to focus in a busy room. Now, during our small group literacy and math rotations, each student can stay engaged with personalized content without distractions. The headphones have truly changed how we use technology for learning.\r\n\r\nOne specific moment that stood out happened during a listening comprehension activity. With their new headphones on, students followed along with a read-aloud and were able to pause, rewind, and replay as needed. The level of focus and understanding we saw was incredible. One student even said, \"This feels like my own little learning world!\"\r\n\r\nThe dry erase markers, erasers, pencils, and glue sticks are getting daily use during independent work, math practice, and project time. Our whiteboard stations are constantly buzzing with collaboration—kids love showing their thinking on the board and wiping it clean to try again. The PenPal pencil holders have helped keep our supplies organized and in reach, cutting down on distractions.\r\n\r\nWe're also so grateful for the Lysol wipes and hand sanitizers. They've become part of our daily routine and are helping to keep our classroom healthy and clean—something we take very seriously.\r\n\r\nWhat's Next?\r\nRight now, we're working on a \"Research and Record\" project where students are exploring animal habitats. They're using the headphones for video research, whiteboards for brainstorming, and glue sticks to assemble their final presentation boards. These tools are giving them the confidence to take ownership of their learning.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just provide supplies—it helped create a more focused, fun, and safe environment for learning.
