Your donation has allowed all students in our classroom to have access to high quality headphones with microphones. This is a great asset to their learning and has already made a difference in their education. \r\n\r\nStudents utilize a program called Read 180. This program is a literacy program that places them where they are academically and gives them an opportunity to listen, read, and write using the skills they have learned in class and while using the program. The ability to hear it independently and not have to worry about hearing your neighbor or your neighbors voice getting picked up instead of your own has made a world of a difference. \r\n\r\nThank you for removing the barriers from families as well as myself in order to help the students in our classroom be successful. While others may look at it as a few dollars but with twenty-two makes a world of a difference.

They now understand that they should not feel sorry for those that are deaf or hard of hearing. They are now able to see that the Deaf community is truly a community of people who embrace each other and are supportive of one another. They realize that you do not have to be deaf in order to learn sign language and many of them have actively taken part in learning sign language in our classroom. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for opening this door for them.","fullyFundedDate":1775057897129,"projectUrl":"project/wait-what-did-you-say/10175805/","projectTitle":"Wait!

Students have memories from fourth grade as well as a book to read during the summer. The great part about reading is that if you have a book you enjoy reading, you can read it multiple times. Their creativity and imagination will also be two other skills that will benefit during the summer along with fluency. There is power in reading a book more than once. Giving students this opportunity is something that I am forever grateful for. Thank you for partnering with me in order to help students with building their literacy during the summer.
