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 Students

My kids are full of curiosity, feelings, and energy. We are quickly developing a family-like community where we show interest in all of the members in our group. We have a brand new preschool program with busy hands and bodies that are ready to be engaged in learning through play, exploration, creativity, routine, peer interaction and plenty of dialogue and music. We focus on language and cognitive development, creativity, explorations, hands-on projects (no worksheets whatsoever), team building, gross motor development, and coordination. We enjoy singing, dancing, painting, pretend play and active outdoor play.

My Project

I recently attended the second part of an intense Arts integration teacher training, where I learned about the many benefits of integrating music.

Music helps students express themselves and become more open in the classroom while having fun.

I would like to provide my students with ukeleles and drums to integrate Music throughout the day to help reduce my students' feelings of anxiety and stress and help them improve concentration and on-task behavior. Music engages students in content that is being covered and helps them develop language and comprehension.

Music also acts as a tool for developing student-student and student-teacher relationships.
