Celebrating 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.

Music and movement are an integral part of our curriculum.
We have a variety of musical instruments but most of them have seen better days and need to be replaced.
My students are preschoolers that range in ages 3-5.
They are in a Special Day Class and have different disabilities, needs and levels of skills.
We musical instruments such as maracas, cymbals, triangles, and bells in our lessons. Music help the mind and body develop by helping in their motor skills, language, and self expression.
Our student population is drawn from a lower socio-economic status and families who are English-language learners. Our preschool special education program benefits and relies on donations from parents, community partnerships and fund raising opportunities.
My Project
The use of musical instruments such as maracas, bells, triangles, and tambourine, are part of our Fun Friday routine. All of my students look forward to this time and each is eager to choose an instrument and get ready to dance and have fun. Incorporating music and movement in our curriculum encourages my students to participate, interact, and show their self expression. Following steps and directions help them develop their language and social interaction; beats and patterns help in their math and counting skills. Having these materials available will make our music and movement activities more exciting and will continue to be an important part in all students' learning and overall developmental skills
