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

My students need to practice rhythms every time they come to my classroom, but I want to keep it fun and interesting so they have fun while they are learning.

My school is in an urban metroplex area in Texas, and most of my students do not travel far from home.

My school has over 90% of the students on free or reduced lunch, but my students are hard working and don't let their economic hardships stop them from succeeding in school. My goal is to offer them every possible way to learn and to help them be successful in life.

My Project

Rhythms and notes are essential building blocks in a music classroom, and they need to be practiced on a regular basis. But kids always learn and retain more when the practice is in a fun way. My vision is to put musical notes on the ends of the pieces of a Jenga game and come up with various ways to review notes and rhythms. My goal would be for the students to eventually create their own rhythms using the blocks, thus ensuring a better understanding of music.

I think that through fun and enriching activities my students will become better musicians and will develop a deeper understanding of music.

I want my students to enjoy my classroom, but my ultimate goal is for them to develop a lifelong appreciation of music.
