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 are in need of music making instruments , we currently do not have a class set. These egg shakers and maracas will be used during music and movement in which my students imitate actions as well as foster their love for music! We are also requesting percussion instruments such as these lollipop drums in order to do whole group drum circles. Thank you for caring about arts in the classroom and for supporting inclusive classrooms like my own. It means the world to me and my students are so lucky!
