Celebrating 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
If I could describe my classroom in five words, they would be: determined, supportive, enthusiastic, encouraging, and creative. With guidance, my students take ownership of their learning, and everything that happens in my classroom is driven by the love and passion we all bring to the space. Hearing comments like "This is my safe haven" or "I feel the most like myself here" are among the best compliments a student can give a teacher. I am incredibly fortunate to be these kids' music teacher.
The Music Store is where students can cash in their rewards for fantastic prizes, These rewards are earned throughout the week by completing classroom tasks, helping their classmates, and going above and beyond what is expected.
All of the items are music-related, allowing students to apply the skills they learn in class at home. The materials in this project will help create a diversified learning experience for all of my students. By establishing a reward system, I aim to foster a positive learning environment, explore various approaches to music, accommodate different learning styles, and provide multiple ways to recognize students' hard work and effort.
