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 would love to be able to provide my students with headphones so that they can perform their best on their upcoming exams. As technology starts to become more integrated in the classroom, the use of headphones is especially helpful when it comes to students' ability to focus on the task at hand.

My goals for this project are to provide my students with the basic tools necessary to succeed, especially pens, highlighters, and headphones.

I love working with my students, and I don't want their learning to suffer because they either forgot or don't otherwise have access to basic supplies that are essential to their learning.
