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 do a lot of work on computers and take many tests on the computer. The problem we are currently facing is the students have broken or lost the headphones they were issued at the beginning of the school year. My students work extensively on computers and frequently use them for various activities. With testing approaching, we need replacement headphones.

Additionally, our classroom requires an outdoor speaker.

We have several outdoor activities that require music or sound to keep everyone in sync. Unfortunately, I do not have a speaker that is loud enough for outdoor use. Many outdoor activities need to be done to a cadence or rhythm. I am looking for donations to help provide new headphones and a speaker for my students.
