While many of us use devices at home for entertainment or basic tasks, having this specialized technology in school serves a completely different purpose. It allows our students to actively engage with concepts rather than just passively listening. For instance, abstract lessons that used to be difficult to visualize are now coming to life right in front of them and we are using this especially for MATH. They are able to visualize addition and subtraction problems through a MATH program called Zearn! The students are no longer just consuming content; they are using this tool to problem-solve, collaborate, and explore subjects at a much deeper, hands-on level.","fullyFundedDate":1788608938820,"projectUrl":"project/much-needed-headphones-for-my-classroom/10536348/","projectTitle":"Much Needed Headphones for my Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. M.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp48434_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1696551426783","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-martorello"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_12329","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":533,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":46,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":40,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":2,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.2,"schoolId":12329,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ashford Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ashford Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/houston-independent-school-district/ashford-elementary-school/12329"}
