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.
¡Bienvenidos! I am the music teacher at Jovita Idar Elementary which services a low income community of really friendly and appreciative families and students in the South-West area of Chicago.
I work with grades K-8th.
Music is the favorite class for many of our students and as a music teacher I strongly believe music is not only fun, engaging and motivating but also helps encourage leadership, teamwork, self-confidence and discipline which are all very important skills we all take on in life.
I want to do my best to give the students of our school the best Music Education they can experience under my time with them and I certainly appreciate your help getting our students and families there.
¡Muchisimas Gracias! Thank you!
My Project
My students must keep their music education going at home! It is crucial more now than ever that our students have music education at home for their well being and social emotional learning. The deskbells will be issued to our students and families to have music instruments at home and continue learning music in a fun and engaging way.
Neuroscientists have concluded that learning to play a musical instrument is the only activity we do as humans that engages the entire brain at once, resulting in higher levels of executive thinking, creating avenues in the brain that do not happen without the actions of learning to play a musical instrument.
The students will learn, practice and present their musical learning in many ways from home, in whole group and small group settings. From learning simple melodic movements following traditional children's songs, to learning more complex music that requires a lot of guidance, reading, teamwork and practice. Help the students be saved by the bells this school year!
