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

Have you ever tried working on a computer, but couldn't concentrate because everyone around you was busy chatting? My students feel this when they are trying to study on their laptops; except what they hear is the sound of buzzards when a student gets an answer right.

This year my students are filled with energy and excitement.

They are motivated to learn, and will do whatever it takes to improve in the classroom. They love working on the laptops using a program called Study Island. they work really hard to earn Blue Ribbons!!!

My Project

If my students get these headphones they will enjoy working on the laptops more, and the chances of them earning Blue Ribbons are greater. My students currently get distracted by other students, I believe that if they had these headphones they wouldn't have the distractions, and they would focus more than they do now. They will enjoy every chance they get on the laptops if these headphones are available to them.

This school year my students only need this one tool to help them grow to their fullest.

Help me make this dream possible!!! These headphones will keep my students motivated and excited!!!
