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

My students come from low-income households and diverse backgrounds, and 100% of my students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. They have faced many challenges at such an early age, but that does not stop them from being eager to learn.

My Project

My students will use the headphones while we use iPads in the classroom. They struggle trying to use earbuds, this sometimes distracts or upsets them and there isn't enough for all of them.

Sturdy and durable headphones will help my students focus and learn more.

It is also important that each student has their own set of headphones to use in the classroom to avoid having to share.

We use iPads to access different learning sites, therefore these headphones will help my students target different learning skills with less distractions.
