Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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.

My Project

I’m seeking your support in providing headphones with microphones for my special needs elementary classroom.

These tools will make a significant difference by allowing students to engage with online lessons, practice speech and language skills, and focus better in a busy classroom.

The headphones will help reduce distractions, while the microphones will support verbal communication and individualized learning.

Headphones with microphones will create a more personalized learning experience, allowing students to focus on their lessons and develop important speech and communication skills. These tools will help them better engage with educational resources and boost their confidence in verbal tasks.

Headphones minimize distractions and create a quiet space for learning, help students practice speech and language skills through audio-based learning activities, and allow students to work at their own pace with the help of personalized audio tools.

My students are incredibly unique and resilient. They each have different learning styles and needs, but they all share a deep curiosity and a determination to learn. With the right resources, they can thrive and reach their full potential, and these headphones and microphones will be key to providing them with the tools they need for success.

Thank you for helping make this possible!
