Thanks to technology we have programs and systems that help improve the learning of all of our students. However, having the access to this technology requires other pieces of technology to get the best and most benefit for our kids. Thanks to donors like you, we are able to get the necessary tools to best help our students.\r\n\r\nIn our bilingual classroom it is very important to have access to the correct pronunciation of words as many of my students within the classroom speak English as a second language. Often times, words are spelled one way, but pronounced another in both languages. Many of my students had broken headphones that no longer worked and thus could not listen to their story or assignments without interrupting their peers. With the new set of headphones that your graciously donated, my students are able to work individually on their readings and assignments and listen to the correct pronunciation of words. We are so happy and grateful for your donation.","fullyFundedDate":1738936592424,"projectUrl":"project/bilingual-listening/9099443/","projectTitle":"Bilingual Listening!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hernandez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9916313"},{"teacherId":5465160,"projectId":8845329,"letterContent":"I sincerely thank you so very much for providing our class with books in Spanish!
