Funded Sep 16, 2022My students have been using the the resources to make connections to different themes and holidays we have throughout the school year.
For example, from September 15 to October 15 it was Hispanic/Latinx heritage month. We reviewed some famous Hispanic singers and different instruments they use or we heard in their music/songs. With the materials we were able to make some instruments, like maracas. My students were vibrant and excited when presented with the materials (popsicle sticks, beads, tissue papers, scissors) to make their own maracas.
Currently we are working on winter themes where we are doing a lot of cut and paste activities. The materials come in handy as we are doing the cut and paste activities and as we continue to make connections about winter.”
