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 Students
The students in my classroom come from low-income households that speak mainly Spanish. The families depend on the services of the center while they are working or in school. Most of my students spend over eight hours at the center and are eager to learn. The students are scoring low in the area of literacy and have a year to improve their scores. The children are already struggling because they are second language learners but with the proper tools, they will excel.
My Project
These musical instruments have many benefits for preschool children. They help with sensory development – when they are able to create and explore ideas using musical instruments for kids, it creates more pathways in their brains. Build upon gross and fine motor skills-banging on a drum helps build gross motor skills. But opening and closing fingers helps with fine motor skill
These instruments will be used through out the day in the indoor area and in the outdoor area for all the children to use and enjoy.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
