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.
My Students
My students are preschool age, 4 and 5 years old. Despite the many challenges they may face before coming to school, they are eager to explore and learn. The students are at-risk young children from various demographic factors, cultures, home environments and low socio-economic status. They are limited to educational experiences outside their homes. With creative and meaningful activities, the students can show pride in their efforts. Head Start promotes school readiness for children in low-income families by offering educational, nutritional, health, social, and other services.
My Project
I am creating this project because we only have a few musical instruments and they are pretty worn from previous years of use. With your warm and thoughtful donations and contributions my students will be able to explore a variety of musical instruments. They will also be able to express themselves using these musical instruments.
My children enjoy utilizing the few musical instruments we do have.
However, I believe that with these new musical instruments the participation in music will increase. These instruments will also be used as a literacy tool to discriminate word sound and patterns.
Please help me give my student an opportunity to utilize a variety of musical instruments in which they can express themselves and learn word sounds and patterns.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
