Celebrating 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.
I am a first-grade teacher at an inner-city school. I am privileged to work with twenty-eight amazing children who are eager to learn and use any learning tools they are given. My students have a tremendous amount of learning to do this upcoming year, and most of it happens from repetition and practice.
They like to read, participate, and ask questions!
Working as an elementary teacher in a low-income and high poverty inner-city district is challenging itself. My students face several challenges, both in and out of the classroom. Whichever challenge they meet, I strive to provide my students with the creative and meaningful learning experience they deserve!
My Project
In my district, we have amazing online programs that help students improve Reading, Math, and Science scores. Unfortunately because of the high poverty, many students are unable to bring headphones of their own.
It is vital students use these online programs to help them become better readers, problem solvers and scientists.
These programs have the ability to read to them, ask students questions and are very interactive. However, with a full class and having limited headphones, it can be very noisy. It also can get very distracting and many students cannot concentrate when attempting to use the programs.
If each student had their own pair of headphones, it would limit the noise level and increase the actual learning time while on each program. It would even double the purpose of using them for next year's students!
In addition, when students do their state testing that is done on computers, parents would not have to worry about acquiring expensive and non-durable headphones for it.
Thank you for supporting my students by knocking down the barrier to resources that is necessary for their success.
I very much appreciate your consideration in this matter and sincerely hope you will view my request favorably and provide the requisite funds.
