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

This speaker will allow our class to listen to soothing sounds when we need to refocus and recharge. We can listen to music and soundscapes to improve our focus. We can also rock out when we need a brain break.

The Bluetooth speaker will allow us to listen to music wherever we go.

In the classroom it will create a calm and comforting environment while we work. Music can also make the classroom feel welcoming as students enter in the mornings. We can take the speaker out to the playground to make our outdoor activities extra fun.

My students love music and are often requesting new songs for their brain breaks. I have also noticed how much their focus and productivity improves when we play calming soundscapes in the classroom.

This speaker will make the kids more excited to come to school everyday.
