Because many of our students are English Language Learners, having reliable headphones made a big difference—they were able to hear lessons clearly, practice language skills, and work without distractions.\r\n\r\nStudents were especially excited to have their own comfortable headphones stored in their seat pockets. This simple change saved valuable instructional time that used to be lost searching for materials or untangling cords. The cleaning supplies also helped us keep everything germ‑free and ready for daily use.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who once struggled with noise or organization thrived with this new setup. They took pride in caring for their materials and were able to engage more confidently during digital learning.\r\n\r\nYour generosity truly strengthened our classroom and helped every student feel prepared and capable. Thank you for making such a meaningful impact.","fullyFundedDate":1699153887683,"projectUrl":"project/engaged-learning-with-headphones/7989964/","projectTitle":"Engaged Learning with Headphones!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lawrence","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6809994_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y30&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1699038262741","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6809994"},{"teacherId":6809994,"projectId":4954776,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, my kindergarteners started the year with full access to BrainPOP Jr., which quickly became one of their favorite learning tools. The animated lessons introduced important skills such as phonics, vocabulary, number sense, and early science concepts in a way that was fun and easy for them to understand.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading and learning became more interactive. Students watched short videos, discussed new ideas, and took quizzes that helped them check their understanding. Many of my learners who struggled with worksheets became more confident when using BrainPOP Jr. One quiet student, who rarely participated, began eagerly answering questions after the videos, and another student who often had trouble focusing stayed fully engaged during the lessons.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, my students—many of whom had limited access to online learning resources at home—received high‑quality, standards‑aligned instruction whether they were in the classroom or learning remotely. BrainPOP Jr. made learning feel exciting and accessible for every child.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students such a meaningful and joyful start to their school year. 💛","fullyFundedDate":1599752567785,"projectUrl":"project/growing-our-brains-with-brainpop-jr/4954776/","projectTitle":"Growing Our Brains With BrainPop Jr.","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lawrence","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6809994_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y30&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1699038262741","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6809994"},{"teacherId":7749801,"projectId":9988507,"letterContent":"We are loving our new supplies and organization materials.
