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.

I teach Middle School music in a Chicago area school with high gang activity and mostly low-income households.

Our students get excited about music class and we love offering positive experiences. The roll-up keyboards are one of their favorite activities.

Our keyboards need AAA batteries that have to be replaced often. Each set of roll-up keyboards is shared between two teachers and used all year long for different students each quarter.

These students LOVE learning the keyboard and this is a great experience for them to have in school. It really helps them feel accomplished and successful. Hopefully, that transfers to their other classes.
