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

This year, we are starting all students on the violin. We will use these materials to organize our classroom and also streamline our learning process.

The musical supplies will be used to help repair and maintain instruments.

The other supplies will be kept near students to help them learn their music in a way that is designed for their learning style.

A handful of students rent their instrument, but most use one of the class violins. Any extra materials provided will be extremely helpful.

We truly appreciate your support for music and our classroom!

Ms. Davis Montessori School 27 Grades 3-5
