My students need Rock & Learn: Division Rap, Rock 'N Learn: Multiplication Rap, Reading Comprehension: Test-Taking Strategies, and Rock 'N Learn: Writing Strategies.
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 all Hispanic. Most of them do not have a computer or other technology at home. They are exposed to violence and socioeconomic limitations like lack of food or resources others take for granted. Our school provides a safe environment away from gangs and other socioeconomic limitations. In my classroom, my students get to dream with the sky as the limit. They've planned future traveling plans, designed their dream homes, and have become celebrated community heroes. The classroom is a safe haven where dreaming big is encouraged. Nothing is impossible when they dream, write, and share their future plans. They will thrive as enthusiastic learners when they are provided with memories that will last a lifetime. They will experience and recollect their memories in a whole new way.
My Project
My students enjoy learning about words that rhyme while using hand movements. This leads me to think that I can help the struggling readers by exposing them to lyrics of their favorite songs and chants. Their low self-esteems need a boost and the resources for this project would provide them a choice of CDs of catchy tunes in. Music will make them feel better about who they are through song and movement. "Music" is a magical gift we must nourish and cultivate in our children, especially now as scientific evidence proves that an education in the arts makes better math and science students, enhances spatial intelligence in newborns and let's not forget that the arts are a compelling solution to teen violence. My students will have the choice to listen to their favorite tunes, chants and songs at any time of the day in the iPod dock in a listening center.
I need your generosity, to help me teach phonics, sight words, and math, though music.
All academic subjects are so important but music will feed my students' soul and thus, improving my students' future as scholars. These materials will put them on a path of a love for grammar, math, and science. With your help they can aspire to be future mathematicians, professors, doctors, chemists, or astronauts! With your help we can help achieve academic success.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
