Help me give my students some headphones We are tightly packed into our classroom so headphones are a huge help for those who are learning on a computer versus those learning one on one with the teacher.

Celebrating 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 are curious, funny, bright, and full of energy. They are also resilient and strong in both their minds and bodies. These amazing students have spent most of their formative learning years learning in a pandemic. They are careful about staying safe for their classmates, their families and themselves. Many of them are in a classroom for the first time in 18 months. Their adaption to the change has been incredible. Every day they come in ready and eager to learn and never do I get push back of not wanting to work to grow their brains and do their best. I loved our first week of self portraits where they drew themselves. It was very creative.
My Project
My students are excited to be back in the classroom but at times the classroom noise can be overwhelming to those who have been at home for almost 18 months. The headphones help them focus and zone into their work online, which continues even in the classroom. When giving students assessments to see if they "get it", that evaluation is much easier to have the student complete using technology. When English Language Learners are trying to differentiate sounds, it is difficult because the mask block the teacher's mouth so they can see how sounds and words are formed. When using headphones with appropriate software the learning is much easier for them and they also have their privacy on their skill level.
