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
We are a 2nd-grade special education classroom and we are full of love and charismatic personalities! My students laugh, play, care, and give to one another with every moment that they can. However, my students face many adverse circumstances, they live in shelters, city housing developments, and foster care. Most of my students come to school hungry and without proper sized clothing or school supplies. Most of our scholars read, write, and compute at a kindergarten level.
Our 2nd-grade students are living in a very traumatic time and above all are encountering many hardships here in New York City.
My students find school as a safe place to grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
This coming school year, our scholars will continue distance learning in some form and I can already foresee their resilience. My future scholars are currently in 1st grade and will be entering 2nd grade in September and they have shown bravery with their first-grade teachers. Currently, the scholars were only given an iPad or a laptop to work from home with. They receive 4 daily check-ins just to promote socio-emotional support to the scholars and their families during this time.
My Project
This upcoming school year will be different and in-person learning will be useless if my students can't hear me because of the mask and/or shield requirements. In addition, teachers trying to speak louder would cause a strain on their voice.
This system will allow me to speak in my normal speaking voice but loud enough for my students to hear me and my co-teacher teaching valuable lessons throughout the day!
This is going to be an essential item in making certain that all students can hear me without a problem. These two speakers and two microphone headsets will allow my co-teacher and I to teach in small groups separately, or in a whole class group setting. It is portable and convenient!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
