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

My students attend a Pre k class in a southside Chicago public school. They are anxious to learn new things and explore the world around them. When teaching young children online, especially english language learners, it is important to be able to give instruction in an environment with as little distractions as possible so they can fully grasp the intentional learning activities being provided .

I want to help provide an online environment for my students that will enhance their learning and listening experiences.

My Project

Like many students learning from home right now finding a distraction free zone for learning can be difficult, especially if there are multiple children in a household trying log onto their classroom.

If children can be provided with their own headphones to plug into the computer it would help eliminate some of those distractions at home, giving them better opportunities to focus on the tasks at hand.

When school goes back into in - person learning the children can bring the headphones to school to use for their personal use which will limit the spread of germs as well.
