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

I am requesting funding for 28 wireless headphones for my 5th-grade classroom at Leaders of Excellence, Advocacy, and Discovery. These headphones will provide crucial access to audiobooks and other audio-based learning resources for students who require additional support in accessing literature.

Many of our students face challenges with reading comprehension, fluency, or maintaining focus while engaging with traditional printed texts.

Allowing them to listen to audiobooks allows them to enjoy literature at their own pace and in a format that meets their individual needs. Audiobooks offer a powerful tool for supporting struggling readers, English language learners, and students with learning differences, enabling them to participate in classroom discussions and assignments actively.

By equipping our classroom with wireless headphones, we aim to increase engagement, foster independence, and enhance the learning experience for all students. The headphones will help eliminate distractions by allowing students to focus solely on the material they engage with, whether listening to a novel, following an educational podcast, or completing listening comprehension exercises. This focused listening experience will increase attention spans and allow students to enjoy literature in a way that is accessible and meaningful to them.

Wireless headphones are especially important as they will allow for greater flexibility in classroom management and technology use. Students can move freely around the room while using their devices, ensuring they can listen to educational materials without disturbing others. Additionally, wireless headphones will help maintain the cleanliness and safety of the classroom by eliminating the need for shared, wired headphones.

Thank you very much for considering this request. Your support will make a meaningful difference in our students' lives, helping them access literature and learning resources in a way that best suits their needs
