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 special! They live in a high poverty city in California. Many families share homes, and, because of safety issues, there are not many opportunities to go outside and play. They attend a Title I school where there is a free or reduced-price lunch and breakfast program that above 90% of the students use.

I teach 25 kindergarten students in this school.

Most of my students are experiencing their first public school classroom.The children are sweet, smart and enthusiastic. They love to come to school and learn!

My Project

Learning from home for incoming kindergarten students Is very challenging. I found last spring that the recorder was a tool that grabbed their attention. We started off each “morning meeting”playing the songs that we had learned in class. It made us feel connected to each other, playing together. I plan on using the recorder to help my new students have that same magical feeling. Instrumental instruction was one area that, having a screen for them to see up close the fingering, was an even better way to teach five and six year olds.
