Help me give my students mousepads and computer lit activities via TpT. The mousepads will allow the students to become more comfortable using the desktop with a mouse, as will the learning activities from TpT.

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.
My Students
My students are in need of basic computer accessories as they shift to working on desktops. We have a new computer lab with desktops and weren't provided with mouse pads (or headphones). Because of this I'm finding that many students have a problem using their mouse. The mouse is not reading consistently for them to move the cursor on the screen. Sitting the mouse atop a tablet or something helps, but doesn't solve the problem. I'd like to purchase mousepads & headphones for each of the 35 desktops located in our new computer lab.
Students are excited by the possibilities the desktops present when it comes to projects.
The hiccup with the mouse is a distraction. We are a Title I school, but the kids make no excuses for themselves. They're doing all that they can to ensure that they excel academically. The majority of the students come from economically disadvantaged homes; 97% are minorities, 87.5% ESOL, and 87.3% of receive free or reduced lunches. However, they always work hard and are do their best to keep up with their assignments. Little things shouldn't become obstacles for them.
My Project
My students are being asked to come into a computer lab and use desktops. They are used to working on laptops. These supplies will allow them to learn how to use a desktop with its mouse.
The Teachers Pay Teachers activities will enable me to give them hands on visuals as they learn the parts of a desktop, the parts of the mouse and how they work together.
I'll also be able to post visuals of keyboard shortcuts and other useful Computer Science information around the classroom. Thanks in advance.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
