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

These microphones will help students learn how to work collaboratively in groups, project their voices, and speak slowly and clearly. This will make a big difference in their learning because they will gain confidence and teamwork skills.

My goal for this project is to ensure that all student voices are heard during school events and performances.

Students work very hard preparing for these events and deserve their voices to be heard.

My students are special for many reasons. They practice their lines for our musical show at every free moment they have during the day. They dedicate every minute that they have to our school performances and help each other learn the songs and lines. Instead of playing outside, their hearts call them to performing - singing, dancing, acting. This is why my students are special and deserve to have their voices heard.
