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

Hi. I am requesting some supplies for personal professional development. I taught music for the first time this year and I made my own curriculum with some supplemental material that I purchased.

Next year, I want to make myself the best music teacher I can be.

I want to continue creating engaging lessons and helping children learn music. These books and some supplemental materials on TeachersPayTeachers would really benefit me and my pedagogical skills. This summer, the resources will be used to keep developing my own curriculum that best meets the needs of all my students.

Ms. Scalzetti PS 97 Forest Park Grades 3-5
