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

Students in my classroom love to incorporate visual art into arts integrated choral music lessons. Having more supplies for them to choose from help the visual learners immensely!

In addition to art supplies, my kinesthetic learners would greatly benefit using a yoga chair ball to understand breath support and control in a more approachable way.

Finally, having the opportunity to take our music on the go for in school presentations, would be a game changer for our upcoming performances!

These kids deserve to have the chance to take their lessons to the next level!

Thank you for your consideration!
