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 Students

My students are fighters! Most come from home situations that have caring parents, but they are parents that are trying to help their families survive in a new country. Covid-19 has been very detrimental to their learning process because, oftentimes, a parent wasn't able to be around to help their child stay engaged in tech learning.

My Project

I am lucky enough to teach a subject that is always helping students socially and emotionally. I also teach a subject that has taken a great hit during Covid-19 with many professionals in the medical profession warning of the dangers of singing.

I am excited to get back with my students and read about the many different peoples who have made gorgeous music in this world, and, of course, make some ourselves!

I also want to show my students that many people that look like them have made beautiful music.
