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.
My Students
Our school is located in a high-poverty and high-risk community. Many of my students speak English as a second language, and speak Spanish, Tongan, or another language at home. The students' families come from a diverse range of places all over the world, including El Salvador, Mexico, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, and others, and they are proud of their heritage. Many students and their families struggle with homelessness, transiency, and hunger.
Despite these challenges, the students persevere every day by showing up for their educations.
While the families at our school are incredibly supportive, they do not have the funds to supply all the needed supplies for our classroom.
My Project
My students use laptops often in class. They type essays, solve math problems, and even read stories on their laptops. However, many of them do not have good headphones to use. They need to listen to their essays, the math problems, or stories, but cannot always hear clearly because they are using earbud headphones that do not work well. These headphones would allow me to give the students up-to-date technology. They will be able to hear more clearly and will be more equipped to complete their work. When I asked my students what we most need in the classroom they said headphones!
