They help students visualize fractions, compare values, and build a stronger foundation in number sense.

My students have benefitted greatly from this contribution to our classroom! Because we have a busy third grade classroom, it's often difficult for many students to focus on the activities they are independently working on. They often can lose focus, which leads to frustration, and a lack of opportunity to learn. Having a class set of headphones allows all students the chance to focus and learn without interruption. We use different online platforms throughout the day, and each one is equally important. Being able to actively participate in each activity without interruption is an amazing gift!","fullyFundedDate":1764700984866,"projectUrl":"project/can-you-hear-me-now/9893168/","projectTitle":"Can You Hear Me Now?","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wright-Mata","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3665718_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753125096556","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/teacherwright"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_8789","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":410,"numTeachers":23,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":96,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.0,"schoolId":8789,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Carvajal Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Carvajal Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/san-antonio-independent-school-district/carvajal-elementary-school/8789"}
