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

The school supplied headphones are not enough for our needs. They have been falling apart and the microphones on them have been breaking. This is hard for us as we are a classroom full of language learners. Students have to share working headphones, and this makes it hard to do anything requiring headphones as a whole class.

New headphones would allow my students to have their own pair of comfortable headphones that they are responsible for.

It would allow my language learners to have a working microphone whenever they need it and would be able to focus more on learning and less on finding working supplies.
