Because of your kindness, I was able to purchase headphones with speech-to-text capabilities for my students, and they have already made such a positive impact.\r\n\r\nWhen the headphones arrived, the excitement in the room was incredible. My students immediately noticed that they look like \"gamer\" headphones—which apparently means they are extremely cool! They were thrilled to receive them and eager to start using them right away.\r\n\r\nThese headphones are helping my students access speech-to-text tools that support their learning and build their confidence as writers. To make sure they last a long time, I've placed each set in reinforced storage bags to keep them protected and organized.\r\n\r\nSeeing my students so excited about tools that help them learn is truly special, and it wouldn't have been possible without your generosity. Thank you for investing in our classroom and in my students' success.","fullyFundedDate":1766245466701,"projectUrl":"project/from-thoughts-to-text-helping-dyslexic/9780931/","projectTitle":"From Thoughts to Text: Helping Dyslexic Students Share Their Ideas","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Strong","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2186074_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1628133413501","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2186074"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_14328","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":306,"numTeachers":32,"percentFrplEligible":20,"percentAsian":9,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":63,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":92.9,"schoolId":14328,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Saigling Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Saigling Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/plano-independent-school-district/saigling-elementary-school/14328"}
