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 first graders this year are energetic, witty and keep me on my toes. They also love to learn and are in the process of becoming leaders. I enjoy each day I spend with them and they are on their way to doing great things.

My Project

The use of headphones while using technology in the classroom has always been a necessity due to the number of students using it at the same time. COVID has made the use of headphones while learning at home also a necessity due to the number of siblings learning at the same time and in most times, the same space, as well as sharing their learning space with much older and younger family members. A quiet learning space is a must but so is comfort. Headphones should make the ears of our students feel good each time they use them. Headphones that allow for a quiet and comfortable learning experience will lead to more time on task and student achievement.
