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 school purchased very flimsy headphones that didn't even have microphones.We've had them since October and several have already broken.

Some of my students have IEP's and need to use resources on the computers that allow them to have all the text read aloud to them, as well a way to say what they want to have typed up for them.

I also have students who are more reluctant typers, or need those extra supports sometimes, even though they don't qualfy for an IEP. Because of all the needs of my class we are asking for a class set of quality headphones.
