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 am incredibly lucky to work with the students that I do! My students have a wonderful passion for music and incorporate it into their lives in and out of school. We are a Title I inner-city school, located in Southern Connecticut and this is my seventh year teaching! Our school administration and staff are very supportive of our music program and roughly 20% of our entire student body is enrolled in the band! Every student receives music instruction from PreK through 8th grade and I work specifically with grades PreK, Kindergarten, and 8th grade.
Every year our program grows, but unfortunately, our budget does not.
As our program grows, we are able to tackle more challenging pieces and perform throughout our community. Our budget covers essential supplies, but as a result, we are not able to grow our inventory as much as is needed. My goal is to provide the best music education to my students!
My Project
My big aim this year is to improve my students' vocabulary and incorporate more reading literature in my PreK and Kindergarten music classes. Every one of these books ties into a lesson or unit that I have done in the past and plan to use this year.
We have many English language learners in our school and incorporating this kind of literature into their daily music routine will prove to show improvements in their reading comprehension.
It is so important that our students are exposed to this kind of information, and when you can link it to a song or music, it has such a deeper meaning to that child!
