My Project

My students are often soft spoken, and getting them to participate will help with a mic and speaker! Having the portable PA system we pass around to students will enable them to share and the class will be able to hear them clearly. This will help them build confidence as they are speaking to a group of people. The mic is helpful because during the time when the heat or ac machine is getting loud in the classroom, students can use the microphone. This will improve our classroom learning in math and in our community circle building time. Students will have a loud and clear voice even if they are soft spoken. Please consider helping us out!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
