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

Hello!

Help purchase musical books for our urban-based lower elementary students!

Not only will the be able to spend class time reading, but they will get the chance to do musical book based activities. These books will help improve the auditory skills of the students as well as imagination. Various books can provide many benefits not only musically but also emotionally.

Technology has been such a helpful tool, but nothing beats the memories of reading a physical book during carpet time! Old fashioned book reading has been lost to the years in the classroom. Please help us give these students the opportunity to experience such a pivotal time in their early childhood while also improving on their music education.
