Because of your kindness, my students now have headphones and stylus pens that have made a meaningful difference in their daily learning experiences.\r\n\r\nThe headphones have given my students the opportunity to fully engage in digital learning without distractions. Whether they are listening to stories, practicing reading and math skills, completing assessments, or participating in educational programs, they are able to focus and work independently. This has been especially beneficial for students who need a quieter environment to concentrate or who learn best through audio support. The stylus pens have also been a wonderful addition. They have made it easier for students to write, draw, solve math problems, and interact with learning apps on our devices with greater accuracy and confidence. My students are excited to use them because they make learning feel more interactive and fun.\r\n\r\nOne of the greatest joys has been watching students who were once hesitant to use technology become more confident and engaged. They take pride in using the headphones and styluses responsibly, and they look forward to technology-based lessons each day. These tools have helped increase participation, independence, and enthusiasm for learning across the classroom.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has provided more than just classroom supplies—it has given my students opportunities to build important digital skills while making learning more accessible and enjoyable. Thank you for believing in my students and investing in their future. Your kindness has made a lasting impact, and we are truly grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1744032922778,"projectUrl":"project/engaging-tools-to-bring-the-magic-in-lea/9030560/","projectTitle":"Engaging Tools to Bring the Magic in Learning!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Diana Carranza","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8427050"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_15387","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":367,"numTeachers":38,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":99,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"9.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":68.3,"schoolId":15387,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Newman Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Newman Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/united-independent-school-district/newman-elementary-school/15387"}
