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
I have been teaching at this school since October 2016. I teach in a pre-kindergarten to 8th-grade school with around 750 students; I see all of them. These students come from various cultural backgrounds. Forty-three percent of the school is ELL (English Language Learners.) There are very large-sized classes and varied levels of English speaking students.
Since I am in a poverty-stricken neighborhood, resources are very limited.
These students have very limited instruments in our music classroom.
Being a young, new teacher, this is very challenging to support me and my classroom. The reason I am asking for this is that my students deserve a classroom that right now I can not give them. I want to help my students in every way and I hope you can help me, help them.
My Project
Our students need books to help connect the literacy lessons and learning that is held in their classrooms to the music room. These music books can help relate to my students and create musical lessons.
Incorporating literacy in the music classroom will reach more students who are turned away from reading and writing in their regular classroom.
By working with the classroom teachers and incorporating music into literacy activities can give the students a real-world reason behind their lessons. Allowing students to see how music can be in books too can give students the opportunity to read and write about a passionate topic to them.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
