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 are a diverse group of enthusiastic and curious learners who bring unique perspectives to the classroom. Despite challenges, they show up each day ready to grow, support one another, and learn.

We use technology daily for interactive lessons, independent practice, and personalized learning programs.

However, we lack enough quality headphones for each student. Sharing or using outdated headphones creates distractions and prevents students from fully engaging in their learning tasks.

The headphones I’m requesting will allow students to focus on literacy, math, and language programs tailored to their individual needs. They’ll also support collaboration, enabling students to watch educational videos, participate in virtual field trips, and work on group projects without disturbing others.

My goal is to create a learning environment where every student can concentrate, excel, and thrive. These headphones will minimize distractions, foster creativity, and build critical thinking skills in a calm, focused classroom.

Your support will provide essential tools for my students and show them that their education matters. Thank you for helping us make this project a reality!
