Your donation has made a meaningful difference in how our students engage with learning. While many people think of gaming as something for home, here at school we've been using the Switch as a powerful tool to promote critical thinking, communication, and collaboration. The interactive nature of the games encourages students to problem-solve, make decisions, and support one another—all while having fun.\r\n\r\nWhat's most exciting to our students is how this new technology turns learning into something they look forward to. They're motivated to participate, and it's been amazing to see them apply what they're learning in class in new and creative ways. The multiplayer aspects of the Switch have helped students build teamwork skills and connect more meaningfully with their peers.\r\n\r\nOne student, in particular—who usually hangs back during group discussions—has really warmed up his peers and to the use of the Switch. Since its introduction, they've taken a leadership role during game-based activities, encouraging classmates and guiding the group through challenges. It's been incredible to see that boost in confidence and social engagement.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our classroom is now a place where learning feels exciting and inclusive. You've helped make a real impact on our students' academic and social development. We're so grateful for your support!","fullyFundedDate":1733947002161,"projectUrl":"project/game-on-building-skills-through-play/8882432/","projectTitle":"Game On: Building Skills Through Play","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Rodriguez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9805016"},{"teacherId":2080083,"projectId":8830552,"letterContent":"The donation of headphones to students can have a profound impact on their academic success and overall learning experience. By providing access to high-quality audio tools, students can engage more effectively with digital learning materials, such as online lessons, educational videos, and interactive applications. This fosters an environment conducive to focused learning, especially in noisy or distracting environments. Additionally, headphones can help students with hearing impairments or those who struggle with concentration by offering better audio clarity and reducing external distractions.\r\n\r\nBeyond academics, the donation of headphones can enhance students' sense of inclusion and support, promoting a feeling of care and consideration for their needs. It can also encourage students to explore new forms of learning, such as language acquisition programs or podcasts, which might not have been accessible to them before. Ultimately, this donation empowers students to take charge of their learning, helping them achieve their full potential in a more engaging and individualized manner.","fullyFundedDate":1731685411392,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-for-learning/8830552/","projectTitle":"Headphones for Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Romashyn","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2080083_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1502401299483","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2080083"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_18397","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":478,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":35,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":57,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":61.2,"schoolId":18397,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Maple Lawn Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Maple Lawn Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/dallas-independent-school-district/maple-lawn-academy/18397"}
