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

My students are always excited when we play music, whether it be in our lessons, on YouTube, on our desks, etc. With or without instruments, it doesn't matter! They are always ready to rock with it, and now they will be able to drum with it and on a real drum, not just on their desks! Yay!

My students need Djembe drums to play music in our classroom These drums will complement the other instruments we already have, making our music complete!

Students will learn to play basic beats with our Djembe drums for our musicals, and they will be used in our daily routine: transitions, celebrations, etc. The picture supplies, such as the glossy Kodak paper, picture frames, and computer ink, will all help capture our musical memories!
