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 850 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
Ukuleles are a great instrument to start any school-aged musician on! After years of practice, different sizes offer different sounds and match different voice qualities. Some of our students have been playing the same ukulele since 3rd grade and they are now 7th graders! Having different sizes available to practice in the classroom can allow them to try out different songs to match their voice.
For use during distance learning, having access to an electric- acoustic ukulele will allow me to have better sound quality for learners in the classroom and at home simultaneously.
These different types of ukeleles can be an incentive for students who are reaching goals beyond the standard instruments available in class!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
