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

At my school, I teach approximately 570 students one time per week. During music lessons, I use many different methods to teach the students different concepts and ensure that they are having fun while they learn.

These Boomwhackers, Bear Paw Creek Stretchy Band, and Rhythm Cards will ensure that my students have the supplies they need for composition and updated instruments to play in class.

The stretchy band will open up an entire world of new activities for us to participate in during music class.

I want to enrich my students' education with the best possible education. I would appreciate anything you can do to help!
