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 Students

Our school is located in the second smallest city in Los Angeles County. Our elementary school is 400 students strong. We have 1 percent African American and 98 percent Latinos. We have a 90 percent socioeconomically disadvantaged population and 4 percent foster youth. All of our students receive free lunch. Despite the many challenges they face, my students arrive every morning full of life, ready to learn, and excited to get started on our day. I do my best to provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.

My Project

I get to continue teaching my students daily via zoom. One of the hardest things for my first graders is focusing on my instruction when there is so much noise around them.

My first graders need noise canceling headsets to help them focus on instruction.

My students are eager and ready to learn and participate in our online learning.

With Covid cases on the rise, it looks like we will be engaging in online learning for longer than we first anticipated. These headsets with make a significant impact in the way my students can focus and listen to each other during discussions.
