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 Students

As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences. I just need some supplies to keep it going. We use individual whiteboards for math.

Many of them are being raised in single-parent households/foster care or being raised by a grandparent and receive free lunch based on their socioeconomic status.

These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical." From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly help control their learning experience.

My Project

This project will help all my math students learn and concentrate because of the headsets. Math requires quiet and concentration and these headsets will provide that to all my students. Computers and technology are vital to learning as the pandemic has clearly shown!

Some students do not have access to working headsets and the school does not provide them!

This project will provide them to each and every student who needs one. These headsets will be available to students to use in the classroom and at home if necessary. Please donate to this project. You will be making a difference in the life of a child.
