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

In my second-grade ICT Classroom, students have diverse learning needs, and focus can be a challenge in our busy environment. To enhance our lessons and create a more dynamic learning experience, we need a new document camera and noise-cancelling headphones!

With a new document camera, I can instantly display student work, assignments, books, and diagrams in real-time, ensuring that every student has a clear view of examples and instructions.

Noise-cancelling headphones would provide a quiet, distraction-free space for students to concentrate on reading, writing, and independent work. These headphones will support all learners, especially those with sensory sensitivities or attention difficulties, allowing them to thrive in a calm and focused setting.

By funding this project, you will help create an inclusive learning environment where every student can do their best work. Thank you for supporting my student's success!
