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

The headphones I’m requesting will make a big difference by helping my students stay focused and engaged during independent and small-group learning. The ones we currently have are uncomfortable and often distract students from their tasks. New, comfortable headphones will allow them to concentrate on digital learning activities without being bothered by discomfort or surrounding noise, helping them develop critical reading, math, and technology skills.

My goals for this project is to help my students have access to the materials that are comfortable and durable.

We currently have headphones that break easily and bother their ears after a while. As a Title I school, providing them with quality resources can make a significant impact on their academic success. These headphones will empower them to stay engaged and reach their full potential.

My students are special as they have reached so much potential and enjoy being able to learn through digital activities as well. We primarily use our computers during small group intervention for the students who are not being seen by a teacher. We have the scholastic program that our district highly encourages us to use.
