Celebrating 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 Students
My students are musicians in every way. My kindergarten through sixth grade students create and perform music in English, Spanish, and languages from around the world. Many of my students are bilingual and we strive to have a culturally inclusive classroom.
My goal for my classroom is for students to have access to quality music-making materials.
Our school is located in a low-income neighborhood and the majority of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. My student's current financial realities should not dictate what educational materials are available to them. We are hoping to fill the gap between what our school resources are able to provide and what is available to students in high income neighborhoods.
My Project
My primary-aged students need glockenspiels to assist them in making their own music. Students learn best through hands-on exploration, however my students lack materials that are adaptive and durable enough for repeated use. We frequently connect music to literature in my classroom, and my students are eager to add their own melodies to stories they love.
Students will use these glockenspiels to create their own songs and to add sound effects to their favorite stories.
The bars are easy to remove, so students only play the notes they need. These glockenspiels allow even the youngest students in our classroom to explore music making first-hand.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
