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

Help me introduce my 3K students to magical world of music by providing hands on individual musical instruments. The children in my class will be able to explore and create their very own music In a safe and nurturing environment!

Through this project, the children will explore drums, symbols, bells, tambourines, shakers and more.

Who knows what different musical arrangements they will end up composing on their own or in a group! The exploration of music in this young age can spark, lifelong musicians. Who wouldn’t love to see a group of toddlers discover their “Inner Beethoven”!
