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
Greetings! My name is Mrs. Amaral, and I am a third year 5th grade teacher. I am currently teaching in a charter elementary school located near the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development complex where multiple socioeconomically disadvantaged families reside in single-family dwellings. The government housing project is home to the majority of the student population. Believe me when I say that these students deserve my project.
My students care about their education, and I am seeking to enhance their learning through the use of a microphone.
Unfortunately, there is a limit on resources that I can get for my class from the school. I depend on donors like you to help fund my project.
My Project
I have an ample amount of students whom don't like to participate because they have special needs or are introverts, and I truly believe that the QBall Microphone will encourage students to share their thinking in a fun way.
The QBall is a ball shaped microphone that teachers can toss to students during class discussions.
This project will allow students that are soft spoken to amplify their voice in a way that will keep their peers engaged. I truly feel that our Math talks and Number talks, which are conducted on a daily basis, will reach another level. This item can also be used to project their voices during presentations.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
