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
I have been teaching at this school since October 2016. I teach in a pre-kindergarten to 8th-grade school with around 750 students; I see all of them. These students come from various cultural backgrounds. Forty-three percent of the school is ELL (English Language Learners.) There are very large-sized classes and varied levels of English speaking students.
Since I am in a poverty-stricken neighborhood, resources are very limited.
These students have very limited instruments in our music classroom.
Being a young, new teacher, this is very challenging to support me and my classroom. The reason I am asking for this is that my students deserve a classroom that right now I can not give them. I want to help my students in every way and I hope you can help me, help them.
My Project
Our school has a special program where students receive private small group piano lessons during the school day. These small group piano lessons can only go so far. Practicing at home and away from the school day is the only way to help continue the studies. These keyboards will be able to be signed out and taken home on weekends or during the week. This will give the students a chance to practice their music. Practicing is a new skill for these young musicians, but one of my students is eager to try! Purchasing a new keyboard can be very hard for some parents, but this will offset that worry to make sure all students who want to, can succeed!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
