Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I teach at a Title I school in Memphis, TN. My students are very bright, eager to learn, and have been having an amazing year so far! Unfortunately, we have been fighting with technology all year. We had an old CD player, which I unfortunately haven't been able to get to work. I was able to get all of our music put on my school laptop, but when I connect the laptop to my smart board, the sound doesn't come out very loud.

It can be very difficult to sing or play along when we can't hear the backing tracks.

In order to fix this problem, I am asking for help getting a portable bluetooth speaker for my classroom. I can use the speaker to play the music from my laptop, and we can turn up the volume.
