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

Students will be able to simply focus with their headphones on their task and will not have to worry about what is going on around them. Plus, in this technology-driven world, headphones come in hand. These new headphones that will be provided will help with tasks like listening center, songs, reading stories, and taking assessments. My students wish to have headphones because they want to be able to complete their tasks and it will help them focus. Overall, “the purpose of the headphone is to concentrate a quiet and private sound in the ear of the listener.”
