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

My young students love to sing and dance! We are need of musical instruments and resources to help students express themselves! The rhythm stick set will help all my students participate in music activities with our music teacher.

The dancing scarves and ribbon dancing wands will be used with music by students to release stress and energy.

Castanets will be used to learn about beats in music and all students can participate. Percussion drums will also be used by students during our music class and will help students participate in learning about beats &tempo.
