These walkie talkies have been incredibly helpful these past few months in many ways! They have been used during the school day for high school tutors when they pull out middle schoolers for one-on-one help. It's been super easy to communicate instructions to these tutors so they know what activities to work on or when to return back to class with the students they are assisting. \r\n\r\nAdditionally, we have used them for a ton of fun events, such as the Hispanic Heritage Month festival, where 6 student leaders used the walkie talkies to communicate scheduling updates or areas of support, and at our pep rally event to signal student leaders when it was their turn to step up to the stage and lead their portion of the programming. \r\n\r\nWithout a doubt, these materials are being put to use! Our students have shown an increase in their communication skills and overall confidence with these walkie talkies. They have truly stepped up in their roles.

The Kite Runner is a companion book to our first class novel A Thousand Splendid Suns, so there are students engaging with the world of Afghanistan and the Taliban in a second book in a row, which is exciting to see them deepen their understanding of that time and place. \r\n\r\nBy supporting my class library and my students, you are making it possible for students to connect with and fall in love with authors and stories in meaningful, genuine ways.

The students are reading this work and will be writing Q3 Open-Ended responses using the novel as a basis. They might examine passion vs. responsibility, symbolism, or even how the ending works in light of the themes of the work.

As an online educator teaching across ten schools, ensuring effective communication and creating an engaging virtual learning environment has been essential. Thanks to the advanced noise-cancellation and superior sound quality of the AirPods Pro, we have experienced remarkable improvements in our classroom dynamics.\r\n\r\nThe AirPods Pro have significantly improved my ability to communicate clearly with my students. The noise-cancellation feature effectively filtered out distracting background sounds, allowing students to hear my instructions and feedback without interruption. This clarity has fostered a more interactive classroom atmosphere, encouraging students to engage more fully in discussions. I have observed that students are more willing to ask questions and participate in conversations, which has enriched our collective learning experience.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the AirPods Pro have played a crucial role in protecting my hearing by minimizing exposure to harmful sound feedback. Before using these headphones, I often faced painful audio disruptions caused by students without headsets. With the AirPods Pro, these issues have been significantly reduced, allowing for smoother audio during lessons and creating a more focused learning environment for all.\r\n\r\nYour support has profoundly impacted our ability to create a more effective and inclusive learning environment. Thank you for believing in my students and contributing to the enhancement of educational experiences for learners across ten schools.","fullyFundedDate":1726800412583,"projectUrl":"project/sound-clarity-for-success-empowering-on/8510814/","projectTitle":"Sound Clarity for Success: Empowering Online Learning With AirPods Pro","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Boyer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6436721_orig.jpg?crop=3000,3000,x280,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1557529983003","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/t-boyer"},{"teacherId":2473464,"projectId":9107359,"letterContent":"I never knew a mini fridge could bring so much joy to my students!
