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

The inflatable pools, inflatable animals, dance veils and other resources I am requesting will make a difference in my students learning because they will help students make worldly connections to dialogue and setting. The materials will help develop character and character relationships.

My goal for this project is to instill confidence in my students when they perform.

Materials deepen context and understanding which can be limited with a lack of resources.

My students are special because they face challenging circumstances in their daily lives but that doesn’t keep them from giving their all at rehearsals. They show up with excitement, discipline, talent, passion, and love for the performing arts.
