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

My students are a mix of native English speakers and English Language Learners. Each year, they are required to take a 4 part English Language proficiency exam. Statistically, their speaking scores are the lowest. It's usually because they're nervous to speak on the microphone.

These headphone/microphone combos will take away their stage fright!

By using them and practicing with them all year long, they won't even flinch when they have to do it for the real test. The rest of the materials will be used to store and organize their materials. With a class of 26 students, organization is imperative. I will use the bags to store the headphones and the heat transfer vinyl to label the bags. The binder rings will hold the bags on the hooks on their desks and I will use the labels in my label maker to label the headphones. We won't miss a beat and they're going to do great on their exam!
