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

Our class is a wonderful group of very energetic and highly creative learners who love to listen to music during independent work time. They are now struggling to hear sounds because our current speaker died.

We need a portable speaker to enhance the sound so students can listen and hear throughout the classroom.

A portable speaker allows us to use it to boost the volume from our Promethean board, laptops, and other projection devices. It will help students hear what is being presented and provide good quality sound when we like to listen to music while working on independent tasks.
