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

My students are excited to learn despite all the challenges Covid-19 has thrown at them! They are bright, kind, brave, and inspiring young people. I love that they come to class with a smile behind their masks and that they are patient and persistent. I want to provide my students with the best learning environment possible!

My Project

As we practice public speaking and communication skills we can see students' confidence begin to blossom and their learning and passions shared.

Additionally, overcoming the fears that are often built around speaking, together, builds community within the classroom that creates a learning environment that fosters greater learning opportunities!

With these microphones and portable speaker, students will have the opportunity to take their presentations and communication practice to the next level. Help give students the opportunity to prepare and speak using the proper tools to be heard (even through their masks!).
