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

My students are bright, curious, and eager to learn, but many of them face unique challenges that require additional support. In our classroom, we strive to create an inclusive environment where every student can succeed, regardless of learning differences.

To support students with text-to-speech accommodations, I am requesting a class set of headphones.

These headphones will empower students to listen to texts, comprehend material more effectively, and confidently take assessments without distractions.

Currently, my students rely on shared or outdated resources, making it difficult to maintain a focused learning environment. By providing individual headphones, we can ensure each student has the tools they need to thrive academically and feel empowered in their learning journey.

Your support will not only enhance accessibility but also foster independence and confidence in my students. With your generosity, we can break down barriers to learning and help every student reach their full potential.

Thank you for considering our project and for believing in the power of equitable education!
