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

1. How will the specific items you’re requesting make a difference in their learning?

The requested items, like costumes, instruments, and props, will enhance the students’ learning experience.

Costumes: Traditional costumes help students connect with the culture and boost their confidence in performances.

Instruments: Instruments like maracas and drums teach students the rhythm of the dances, improving their timing and coordination.

Props: Props such as hats or shawls add creativity and make the dance more engaging, helping students express themselves better.

Educational Materials: Books and videos about Ballet Folklórico’s history help students understand the cultural significance, making their learning more meaningful.

2. What are your goals for this project?

Cultural Awareness: To teach students about the traditions and history behind Ballet Folklórico.

Skill Development: To improve their dance skills, such as rhythm, coordination, and footwork.

Confidence and Teamwork: To build confidence through performances and teamwork in practice.

Performance Opportunities: To give students a chance to showcase their skills in school or community events.

3. What makes your students special?

Our students are unique because:

Cultural Pride: Many are from Hispanic or Latinx backgrounds, which makes learning Ballet Folklórico meaningful to them.

Creative Energy: They bring excitement and creativity to the dances.

Diverse Backgrounds: Even students from different backgrounds learn to appreciate and respect other cultures.

Community Engagement: Their performances inspire others and help bring the community together.
