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

As an educator, I am constantly amazed by the dedication and enthusiasm of my students. Every day, they come to class eager to learn and grow, despite facing numerous challenges along the way. However, there's one obstacle that continues to hinder their progress: the lack of functioning headphones and adequate storage for them.

In our classroom, headphones play a crucial role in facilitating learning.

They enable students to listen to word problems in math, access audio versions of texts for reading, and utilize them during testing to maintain focus and concentration. Unfortunately, our current supply of headphones is insufficient, with many of them in disrepair. This situation not only disrupts the learning process but also creates unnecessary frustration for my students.

Imagine trying to solve a complex math problem without being able to hear the instructions clearly or struggling to comprehend a passage without access to audio support. For many of my students, this is their reality. They deserve better.

By donating to my classroom, you can make a tangible difference in the lives of these bright young minds. Your contribution will not only provide headphones but also help us establish proper storage solutions to ensure their longevity and accessibility.
