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

Headphones are essential every day in our classroom. Without working headphones, it is extremely difficult for my students to complete their daily online assignments. Because headphones do not last forever, there is a constant need for new headphones. Students also cannot share headphones as we have in previous school years. While it would be ideal for each student to bring their own headphones and for headphones to last all school year, neither of those usually happens. We use Chromebooks daily for multiple subjects. My students need these headphones to be successful. If they cannot provide their own pair or it breaks, headphones are great to have to continue supporting my students academically!

Imagine the cacaughany of new sounds my students must learn as they enter a new school in a new country.

Headphones help them listen to clear English examples without the confusing hum of background noise and other languages.

Please help us purchase new headphones that fit students of all ages comfortably. This project will help replace the broken headphones in our classroom. It will also provide headphones that are comfortable for learners of every age and help our students hear their Science lessons and Math IXL learning.
