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 Students

The students I have the honor of working with are fabulous 4th graders! They have been identified through the Response to Intervention model as requiring more support in the area of mathematics and/or literacy. They are all hard workers who just require a little more support than their peers.

A majority of students in my intervention groups are identified as having learning or emotional disabilities but are working hard to close the learning gap.

The students come from a very humble background, and the school has a 95% free or reduced lunch rate.

These students come in every day ready to learn and give their best effort on every assignment even when it is difficult. They persevere through all their struggles!

My Project

Imagine trying to learn at home with all the distractions and noises that occur. Now imagine if you had some headphones to help with background noises. Think about how much easier it will be if you had a pair of headphones that did that for you. That's what I want for my students and with your help, it can be done.

I want to take away any barriers so that my students have the same opportunities to learn as others may have during this challenging time.

With a headset that includes a mic, the students can be active learners when they are at home or in the classroom.
