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 awesome second graders come from a very low socioeconomic background with the majority falling below the poverty line. They are mainly English language learners (80%) and many of them live in homes which house multiple families under the same roof. The median income is well below poverty level, with some being homeless. Some of these seven- and eight-year olds have the sole responsibility of taking care of their younger siblings while their parents are working, with many parents working more than one job. Others are latchkey children.

Our school is Title I and 90% of the children receive free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch.

In addition to the many challenges that these hard-working students face, they also are coping with the fact that our school is situated in a high crime area with frequent gang activity. My children have extremely limited access to technology in their homes, yet with all these obstacles, my students come to school with much enthusiasm and an eager desire to learn.

My Project

“ Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything “ - Plato

I strongly agree with this statement.

This is why I am asking for a class set of recorders so that my students can have their own to practice and learn during music class. I am also requesting for drum sets so that we can use during our learning of African and rainforest unit study. Drums play an important role in every aspect of African life, including the physical, emotional and spiritual. Finally, to compliment this unit, I am asking for sonic energy thunder drum so that students can hear the sound of thunder while playing the instrument. Will you help us make our music dream come true?
