Focus! The Future is Now

Help me give my students 20 noise-canceling headphones to help them eliminate distractions in order to be able to focus during tests and independent work time like reading, writing essays, or solving multiple-step real-world math equations.

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 are dynamic, creative, and tenacious. This year they also became distance learning experts as they navigated an entire school year virtually due to Covid-19. This unique time allowed us to learn academically together as well as build community by engaging in virtual events like the pet parade, the fall festival, study hall, and clubs.

My students showed me that no matter how difficult this year felt we could still overcome, thrive, learn, and grow together.

This is a lesson I will always keep.

My Project

In order to prepare my students for a successful return to full in-person instruction this Fall 2021, I need to supply them with the resources they need to hit the ground running. Noise-canceling headphones will help students block out noise and distractions so that they can focus. It also helps students with auditory sensitivities to avoid sensory overload. This equipment will be used as a tool to support our most vulnerable students by helping to create an academic environment where they can continue to thrive and grow. All of us excel when we can stay focused!
