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 amazing students with visual impairments work hard every day. They are eager to learn and ready to work. My unique caseload consists of students enrolled in a life skills program. My students love music and I want to incorporate that into their learning experience.

The supplies in this project will help my students every day.

We will utilize the electronic drum sets and party microphones to utilize while learning the letters of the alphabet, numbers, and colors. These items will help make learning fun and engaging!

These materials will continue to help many of my students with visual impairments learn through music and play.
