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

I am ready to let the music play. I would like to integrate music in my lessons. I would like your help in getting a Bluetooth speaker for my students. I plan to use it to play music to as a cue to signal transitions in the classroom

The P.E dept.

at our school uses a whistle to get students attention. This can be confusing since some students may not know which teacher is trying to get their attention. Rather than using a whistle, to get their attention, I can use music to signal, transitions from activities. For example, I will play a specific song that is a cue to engage in the activity until its done playing. This will be perfect as students warm-up. Also, I can assign different songs for different activities. This will enable me to efficiently manage the student feedback by knowing the approximate time I have left in that part of the lesson.

My students and me would appreciate your help by helping me them a Bluetooth speaker.

Sincerly,

Mr. Solorzano
