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 come from a struggling, high needs, urban neighborhood in New York City. Our school is a warm, nurturing environment, and the children enjoy coming to school. I am currently teaching 18 lovable preschoolers who are curious, funny, loving, and eager to learn. The parents of our students are working hard to make a better life for their families and desire a stellar education for their children.
My little ones are curious, imaginative, loving, creative, honest, and cute.
The community is diverse and considerably lower income. The children I teach are all eager to learn and are enthusiastic. My classroom is comprised of children who are learning English and also with children who have different abilities.
My Project
Children love to explore rhythm and movement and they love to sing. Pre-kindergartners need to sing and our classroom could really use a CD player. I have a laminating machine but no more laminating sheets. I only requested one package for $12.99 because i can get by this year without a lot of sheets.
Children love to explore rhythm and movement and they love to sing.
Music encourages children to explore their feelings and to establish positive relationships with others. Music helps children feel happy and also teaches them to feel good about living, working and playing together! The children will love the new music CD player and will love hearing music played throughout the day. Music is very powerful; not only can it make you feel good, but it can teach you about the world and about the musical traditions of others. Through music, children can see the incredible diversity of others and begin to understand the value of difference. Music captures the soul of people and lifts their spirits. The children will also use the CD player in the listening center. They will be able to listen to stories and look at books while learning to read. The CD player can also be used to play music that is filled with silly songs, fun rhymes and rhythms.
Music help engage the children in group activities, explore rhythm & movement, identify sounds, improve coordination and also builds phonemic awareness. Music could also help my students learn many early childhood concepts as well as build their self-esteem and cooperation skills. Singing together encourages every child to sing and remember tunes. This CD player will be used and enjoyed by hundreds of young children for many years to come! Thank You for reading our proposal.
