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 reset my classroom and my curriculum. Hand Instruments, rewards, posters, and basics are necessary to keep students engaged and able to learn all they need to be great creatives, for Kindergarten through 8th grade.

I am looking to add movement, theory, and more rhythm play into this year.

Not only do the oldest learners need instruments and supplies, the the younger ones do too. Engaging environments, hands-on tools, basic supplies, and instruments to practice on are all part of the learning-to-perform package.

I'm looking to reset the space, expectations, and love of music for all of my students.
