I am so appreciative of the kindness that you as donors have shown and the support you have given to make my students have fun while learning. They love reading and doing group work but enjoying fun seating.\r\nI personally love the carpet area especially for read aloud and whole group activities.

During testing, the headphones help create a quieter, more focused environment where each student can concentrate without distractions. This has reduced test anxiety and allowed students to better demonstrate their knowledge.\r\n\r\nFor personalized learning, the headphones give students the ability to work at their own pace on programs like i-Ready, Prodigy, and other digital resources. They can listen to directions, videos, and interactive lessons clearly, which supports different learning styles and helps them stay engaged. Students who need extra support can review material privately, while those ready for enrichment can move ahead without disturbing their peers.\r\n\r\nOverall, the headphones have made technology-based learning more effective, equitable, and individualized, helping every student stay focused and succeed.\r\nI will include pictures of the headphone but unfortunately due to photo restrictions students can't be in the picture.","fullyFundedDate":1749566815364,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-for-computers/9298428/","projectTitle":"Headphones for Computers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Garcia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10008750"},{"teacherId":3908429,"projectId":8993591,"letterContent":"Thank you SO much for helping my little learners create a healthy start to life as well as learn about spacial awareness.

They have to listen to directions, stay in their own space and participate in fitness activities. \r\n\r\nThe students were very excited to see the floor covered with yoga mats, instead of small squares to use for our Fitness Friday's. They automatically sat in the middle, laid down on their own mat to see their own area. They have transitioned very well and enjoy having more space to complete the yoga goals. The mats also stay in place better than the former squares I used. \r\n\r\nWe are using these mats every Friday to create a love for Fitness and calmness.
