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

In just a few weeks we will be back and better than ever in the classroom welcoming our scholars for another year of teaching and learning. As I begin to prepare and think about what is needed in my classroom, this project will cover a few of the basic items needed to have the utmost success. With band folders for my incoming band students, they will be able to stay organized with all of their music stuff stored in one location. The reeds will allow them to explore all the sounds their instruments can make while developing into young musicians. With a conductors podium, I can stay more organized and look at multiple resources at once to best help my students.

Restocking and adding these items into the classroom will allow for us all to be the best we can be!
