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

I have the sweetest students. They are always ready to lend a helping hand and are excited to get to school to learn something new. The students in my resource reading classes are awesome and don't see their disabilities as something that makes them different but better. My students benefit from hands-on learning activities. All of them share a common goal, to live as independently as possible. Every student is eager to learn and they look forward to activities that will help them gain the skills they need to live a happy life.

Together we are unstoppable.

My Project

These headphones will assist my students to help them clear the noise and help them independently work on their work. It will allow them to use their online accommodations and become as independently as possible.

Distance learning and blended learning have become the new normal for education.

There are many resources that our district has purchase for us to help close the gaps due to the students losing so much during the pandemic. The headphones will assist the students so that they can prepare themselves for the state exams where questions and answers are being read to them.
