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

My students need headphones that are comfortable and durable for daily use. Students work on apps daily to improve their reading and math skills on apps and sites like iReady, Scratch, or Epic. They watch videos that explain how to solve math problems, how to program and code, read alouds, and many other online activities. They need headphones that will allow them to concentrate on the task at hand without interrupting or being interrupted by others. Their headphones will also allow them to use a microphone and engage with other learners or share their learning on any platform. The fidgets and other items like slime will motivate students to complete assignments at home and at school that will improve their reading and math scores. Students also earn prizes for good behavior and high test scores.
