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 love to play the keyboard. One thing that makes differentiated teaching possible is the use of headphones. My students can be plugged into their instruments and work at their own pace. Playing keyboard is something my student population is proud of.

Due to the high usage of every keyboard and set of headphones, our equipment tends to have a short life span.

We are constantly trying to replace headphones that are no longer functional to keep our keyboard classes running smoothly. We need new ones to keep our keyboard students progressing.
