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.

Songs and movement are a great way to reinforce the academics young children are expected to master.

My kindergarten students have a very demanding curriculum. Standards have been raised so that kindergarten today is like first grade when I went to school, and I'm not that old! In order to meet the needs of all types of learners, music and movement are essential to include in the day. Unfortunately, schools these days do not have the resources to provide this very important part of a young persons day.

Dr. Jean is a fabulous singer and song writer who has written songs that address the demanding curriculum young students face today. She has songs about learning the alphabet, not only the names of the letters, but the sounds and how to write them correctly too. There are math, science, social studies and social songs as well. And don't forget the songs that are just for fun. But even these just for fun songs provide students the opportunity to learn. They learn social skills and they practice the very important skill of sharpening their MEMORY. Students need lots of practice using their memory and the songs that require students to remember a numbers of lyrics in order is a great way to do this. Also, young children need to MOVE. School today expects students to sit and do seat work. While this is a skill that needs to be practiced, teachers need to make sure that this is balanced with other activities. Remember, people learn in all different ways. Some learn by seeing, some learn through hearing, lots of young kids learn by moving. Teachers need to remember this and provide many experiences to their students.

With help from the donors at DonorsChoose.org, the kindergarten students will have the opportunity to move, sing, have fun AND learn. Thank you for your support.
