The students are able to concentrate on their individual lessons without the distraction of a cacaphony of voices as students read aloud and practice decoding words and mathmatical fluency practice, Students also enjoy the ambiance of a productive, calm and, peaceful learning environment. Students are now beginning to make marked growth in their reading and math abilities because they can now concentrate on and actively participate in their personalized lessons. \r\n\r\nMy students are excited to engage in their lessons each day now, because they are also tracking their growth and, I attribute a great deal of it to being able to concentrate. As a note of reference, many of my students are below grade-level and the ability to receive scaffolded lessons on their ability level both on a device and with a small group of students in a teacher-led lesson is a tremendous help.\r\n\r\nPrior to receiving the headphones, the atmosphere was one of chaos and confusion as each student was speaking simultaneously, while raising their voices to be heard over each other. Not only were the students overstimulated, I was as well-to be honest. Now there is an barely audible hum of students learning and growing.","fullyFundedDate":1747187723915,"projectUrl":"project/just-hear-for-some-learning/9338043/","projectTitle":"Just \"Hear\" for Some Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jones","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9839009_orig.jpg?crop=737,738,x176,y741&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1745725355179","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-c-jones-elementary"},{"teacherId":8029136,"projectId":9024733,"letterContent":"Thank you for donating to my classroom project.
