Can You Hear Me?

Help me give my students an amplifier device that will help them hear me more clearly, a belt-bag to hold the amplifier, and some pens.

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 have had a hard time speaking loudly. With a full class of 26 students every day, I need a device that will allow my voice to be amplified. I feel that the school day will not be functional if students cannot hear me clearly. This is why I am requesting this headset-microphone-speaker unit that will allow students to hear me clearly when I am working with the whole class and especially when we are learning outside. I also need a belt bag to hold the amplifier and some pens.

I hope you can help my students hear me more clearly with this listening device.
