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 are a mix of English language learners. In class, we work through different activities that help my students practice reading with fluency, listening to fluent, native speakers, and grow confident in their own speaking abilities.

Help me give my students headphones they can use to listen to fluent speakers, and record themselves speaking.

I will have my students use these headphones to listen to books while reading along, and record themselves presenting work on Flipgrid.

My students have shown such growth and confidence this year in their speaking ability. I would be so grateful and honored to receive this project to help my students grow even more for the rest of the year.
