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

It would be so nice to have a radio that works properly so that my students can learn through music. Kids love to sing and dance.

Third graders still like to be silly sometimes and act crazy.

Listening to math songs helps them grasp and understand the concept. I like to play music not only to help them learn but to also have a soothing atmosphere in the classroom. We can also listen and follow along in our textbooks.

My Project

With a new radio, my kids will be able to learn and memorize many math skills. They love to listen to multiplication songs. It helps them with their facts! Also, a fish tank in the class would be another soothing thing for the kids. It also gives them responsibility about taking care of animals.

Kids learn through music, so that's why we really need a radio.

The students will have a great time listening to many educational Cd's throughout the year and not have to listen to their teacher sing.
