The headphones are very helpful and timely because they replaced the older ones, so now students are able to use our tablets effectively. They're able to focus and listen better with the headphones, which is especially important as they're learning how to recognize letter sounds, as well as develop phonemic awareness skills. \r\n\r\nWe have also been able to make flashcards, extension activities, and fun headbands with the colorful cardstock paper. The students enjoy the flashcards for extra practice in learning letter sounds and sight words. Lastly, the magic screens are a fun and different way to practice writing letters and words. \r\n\r\nAll of these tools and supplies are utilized and appreciated every day in our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1733199768234,"projectUrl":"project/we-think-therefore-we-learn/8955039/","projectTitle":"We Think, Therefore We Learn!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Riel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5426586_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1544949033956","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5426586"},{"teacherId":1543115,"projectId":9103620,"letterContent":"I am so grateful for your generous support of my project! The headphones have already made a meaningful difference in my classroom. For students who need accommodations, having the ability to listen to questions read aloud gives them greater independence and confidence during lessons and assessments. Other students have used the headphones for calming study music, which has improved focus, reduced distractions, and helped create a more positive learning environment. It has been wonderful to see how such a simple tool can open doors for learning and make students feel more supported. These headphones will continue to benefit students all year long and in future years, ensuring every child has the tools they need to succeed.
