This simple yet powerful tool has made a big difference in how my students engage with math. With colorful visuals, fraction models, graphs, and geometry shapes printed in detail, abstract math concepts have become much easier for them to understand and enjoy.\r\n\r\nThe color printer allows me to create engaging and differentiated math activities that support every learner. My students are now more excited during math lessons—especially when they see colorful fraction pizzas, bar graphs, and geometric art come to life on paper. The bright visuals help them visualize relationships and patterns that black-and-white copies simply couldn't show.\r\n\r\nOne of my students who used to struggle with fractions now confidently explains her thinking using the colorful fraction strips we printed. Others enjoy completing math centers that involve coloring, sorting, and matching printed visuals. What once felt like a challenging subject has become a creative, hands-on experience.\r\n\r\nYour support didn't just provide us with a printer—it gave us a tool to make learning more visual, joyful, and meaningful.

Digital Learning Platforms like Lexia and iReady are helping our students learn by giving them the tools they need to focus and do their best to make learning growth this year in foundationa reading and math skills. Before, some students felt left out or embarrassed because they didn't have headphones that are needed to follow along with their individualized, apaptive lessons, and teachers had to spend time finding extra ones from other classrooms. Now, every student has what they need, so they can start their learning right away. This means teachers can focus on teaching, and students can focus on learning without any worries.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for our students is that they can all participate without feeling different or left out. They are happy to get started right away and feel more confident in their learning, without feeling embarrassed at not having headphones. Some students who were shy about asking for help before are now more engaged and eager to use the programs. They know they have the same tools as everyone else and that people they have not even had the chance to meet made this possible for them, which makes them feel proud and ready to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1735965825505,"projectUrl":"project/listen-up-headphones-for-learning-enga/9013347/","projectTitle":"Listen Up!: Headphones for Learning Engagement and Support!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dervishi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5514151_orig.jpg?crop=155,155,x0,y38&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1734624286318","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5514151"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_33736","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":955,"numTeachers":63,"percentFrplEligible":78,"percentAsian":8,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":81,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":63.0,"schoolId":33736,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Braddock Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Braddock Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/virginia/fairfax-county-public-schools/braddock-elementary-school/33736"}
