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

Music allows my students to easily be engaged in the lesson I am presenting. Small radio speakers hardly project sound the way a larger speaker can. My classroom radio can hardly project audio much less a good connection. By having a large speaker, students will be able to hear and feel motivational sounds I decide to project!

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, but you will also ultimately help to increase their level of excitement.

Students will be able to focus on the social emotional learning and not whether the radio will work or not. Plus in this technology-I can take it outside during a field event and talk to all the participants at once! I can use it in a multitude of ways including using a mic to do a presentation or using it as a PA to amplify my voice without changing the tone.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
