Our Headphones Need Protecting!

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 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 every day living in shelters, city housing developments, and foster care. Most of my students come to school hungry, 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 previous scholars have shown their resilience to change and the ability to adapt to these unforeseen circumstances. 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

Have you ever been distracted by surrounding noises while trying to work on something? Many of the students in my special education class suffer from low attention span and it is difficult for them to focus and complete assignments in a timely fashion. The headphones will help my students access various accommodations, such as read alouds, live teaching, speech to text, text to speech, etc.

I am requesting 28 headphone cases to protect their headphones when traveling between school and home during a hybrid distance learning model.

The headphone cases will provide our scholars the opportunity to keep their headphones safe and increase their longevity. Headphones without a case will get shuffled in their backpacks and ruin very fast. Additionally, it will teach our students to protect their belongings.
