My Students

My students are full of potential, eager to learn, and they are curious to know about everything around them. My school is located in a very diverse neighborhood, which leads to many languages and cultures present in my classroom. Also, some of my children are under their grandparents' custody while others are children of single parents.

I am so thankful to have a chance to have them in my class.

I hope I can inspire them and help them to develop their confidence skills. I hope I can turn their negative self-concepts into one that are positive.

My Project

Please help me provide my students with multicultural music instruments to incorporate multicultural themes into our curriculum.

Music is a universal language that helps students appreciate both their families' roots and appreciate differences among others.

It increases harmony among children of different cultures.

Students can learn diverse musical instruments as a way to become familiar with the cultural heritage, languages, and customs of different cultures. It is important to cultivate criticality skills in our early childhood students so they can make changes in society, and nothing brings joy to learning better than music. The integration of multicultural musicals into our curriculum will assist us in achieving so many of our goals, including improving students' listening skills, teaching them about diversity, and increasing parents' involvement. This would not be possible without your donation.
