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

This coming school year I will be working with 4th and 5th grade students. My students have daily access to technology with one on one devices. They are in need of a class set of headphones in order for them to focus on their learning, specifically with reading. These headphones will help them stay focused during independent reading time and while they work on classwork.

Students will listen their way to success by using their own set of headphones.

My goal is to have students dive into their reading on a daily basis with less distractions and more engagement. These headphones will do the trick!
