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

My students need new resources to help make their music centers even better! New expo markers, laminating sheets so we can make our resources indestructible, light covers to help make the room more calm, magnets for materials, games and puzzles will enhance our learning when participating in centers during music education. If we can laminate our resources, they will last all year long, and more! New expo markers will help us write music notes more efficiently and new games and resources will help students of all levels and abilities feel confident and successful during music!
