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

Hello! In my R180 class, students consistently use headphones to access their R180 software. This software is used in their intervention class and has them practice phonetic, morphology, vocabulary, reading, and writing assignments. I would like students to get new headphones for the upcoming year, since students have been struggling with old, broken, and outdated headphones in the classroom. As of now, my class has been working with a set of 30 headphones that is shared between all my classes. With constant use, headphones have unfortunately broken over the course of the year or stopped working altogether.

These new headphones will allow students to focus on their R180 software and encourage them to progress and improve on their reading, writing, and listening skills.

I hope that with these new headphones, students will be able to focus and improve in their reading skills. The headphones will allow them to plug in and stop being distracted by other peers.

My students deserve the world and more importantly the ability to read, so please consider donating so that they have every chance to succeed!
