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 are a diverse mix of energetic, intelligent, and curious 9 and 10-year-olds who need resources to truly excel. My school is an urban, high-poverty school that strives to do what's best for the kids, but we often don't have the budget for the "extras", and by "extras" I mean basic supplies, books, technology, field trips, etc. These are the things that can make a significant positive impact on student learning and growth. Many of my students have had traumatic backgrounds, are learning English as a second language (ESL), or have families that struggle to simply put food on the table. Despite these challenges, they thrive when presented with the opportunity to do so.

My intention is to work each and every day to help close the opportunity gap facing the wonderful students in my classroom.

My Project

Boomwhackers are plastic tubes of different lengths and different colors, that create a certain pitch. Since we are limited in our ability to sing, having enough boomwhackers for each child gives them the freedom to play all kinds of music while also learning about steady beat, reading rhythmic notation, creating a melody line and playing an accompaniment with chords while being safe, distanced, and easy to clean/sanitize.

Boomwhackers allow for students to connect, respond, create and perform music in safe, clean, and creative way.

We will use the boomwhackers during our Music time, indoor recess time, and whenever we need a short brain break. They are fun and require active participation for my students minds and bodies!
