Help me give my students music, creativity, and joyful learning experiences to our curious and growing Transitional Kindergarten students.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Fuentes's classroom raised $343

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

Our TK classroom is filled with curious, energetic little learners who love to explore the world around them. Music is a powerful way to help them grow—socially, emotionally, and academically. From singing songs that build language skills to moving with rhythm that boosts motor development, music lights up their minds and hearts.

With your support, I’d love to bring instruments, music books, and engaging audio tools into our classroom.

These resources will help make music a daily part of our learning—sparking creativity, building confidence, and creating joyful connections.

Thank you for helping our students experience the magic of music from the very start of their educational journey!
