My students need an Echo (2nd Generation) in order to play classical and jazz music during class, and to use as an extra technology tool.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
In a city known for its challenges, my primary goal is to provide my students with a safe and rigorous environment where they can take the many skills taught in the classroom to a successful future ahead.
I teach a group of 34 fourth-grade students with a combination of various special needs students mainstreamed within.
My students are a very energetic, inquisitive, and highly motivated group. They absolutely love to learn new information in a tactile and hands-on way.
One thing that sets my group of students apart is their motivation and drive to make this world a better place. They strive for change and to make a positive impact on society. At such a young age, they are already able to describe how their future actions will affect those around them. With such a positive outlook on their future, it is my duty to provide my students with enriching activities that will make them productive future scholars in society.
Through the help of DonorsChoose.org, I hope to be able to provide more learning opportunities for my students through the use of materials that are not easily accessible in public education.
My Project
My classroom is in need of an Amazon Echo Device. This device will mainly be used to play jazz and classical music during class time, promoting a calming effect on the academic learning process.
This device will be used during independent or partner time in order to be used as a calming technique in the background of the classroom; through the use of soft music, my students will be able to concentrate better and feel more relaxed in a positive learning environment.
This device will also help me be able to give voice instructions without having to take the time to look something up or type instructions. Thus, allowing the teacher more teaching opportunities and focusing on active participation by all of the students.
It's a win-win for both student and teacher! I can hear it now, "Alexa, can play some jazz while we work?"
