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 students are high-poverty, high-needs, and highly capable. We have a diverse population, which includes many varying socioeconomic levels, as well as students who qualify for various Special Needs programs, such as Intensive Learning Center, Intensive Academic Center, English Language Learners, Special Education, Challenge Program, and much more.

We provide many opportunities for extracurricular involvement and include arts as an important part of this.

My kids are enthusiastic and motivated and really enjoy doing things that involve more than just sitting, reading, and writing. My kids have great potential.

My Project

Clipboards and an X-ACTO electric pencil sharpener will help us have equitable access to writing. My students are great learners, and we write daily in order to better understand music theory and the specific music on which we are working. The clipboards give us desks without desks.

Writing regularly helps the students in many ways, among them addressing the needs of visual learners.

When we write regularly in music class, we gain better and more consistent learning specifically regarding theory and connecting to other subjects.

We write in response to various genres and ensemble types, as well as write to understand historical context and how our music can be deconstructed like poetry or any other type of writing.
