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

In our music classes, we strive to be well-rounded IB students who like learning about our musical history and preserving the legacy of the music department that has been on this campus for many years. All of the students are hard-working, often times taking their lunchtime and after-school time to come in to rehearse.

What amazes me about these students is how they can jump into their work on their own.

They find ways to communicate with each other in respectful ways, provide constructive feedback, and diligently work together.

Despite the many obstacles my students face, they look forward to coming in and getting their work done. They always enjoy performing for others and when they are on stage, they light up because they get a rush from being able to share their talents with others.

My Project

These items will help my students focus. Often, I have students walk into class groggy or tired with no real reason.

I usually find that my students who have the hardest time focusing in class are actually hungry and need a snack.

Because of this, I really want to be able to have a small assortment of snacks on hand for them so that they don't have to feel that they have to go to their next class 'hangry'.

The other items are to be used as needed especially as we go into a new phase of Covid-19 in the classroom setting.
