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 school is located in an area in Queens which is notable for its incredible diversity of cultures. More than half of the residents are foreign-born, representing every one of the world's continents. Despite this, many of my students' families do not have the resources and opportunities to explore the area's rich cultural, musical and creative resources.
My upper elementary students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade have great voices and love to sing!
I am working on a diverse vocal repertoire with my students, that spans all genres and decades. When I am able to integrate music learning with other subjects, my students tap into a learning environment where all learning is connected, through an interdisciplinary approach.
My Project
The materials that I am requesting for my students would help them learn in a creative learning environment in which all students will get a chance to share and develop their unique individual creativity by bringing their voices to life!
All of my 3rd, 4th and 5th-grade students are extremely excited about singing various songs this year in chorus and are exhilarated at the thought of having a microphone with an amplifier, so that they may have the feeling of being a real singer!
By donating to this project, you will help me to attain a microphone with an amplifier so those that are singing can be heard over other instruments. As my students love to sing and perform, it will also help to improve student attention and engagement and ultimately will increase their love and passion for music and nurture their talents and provide them with an outlet for creativity-one in which they can always look back upon fondly.
The microphone and amplifier will allow my vocalists to balance their voices and to take ownership with their own unique singing voices.
More than half of students from low‑income households
