Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

The music that will play in class helps to motivate and help keep the students on a beat when doing an activity. The 50 students I have in my class will enjoy having a loud speaker so that they can enjoy the music as a group. Also getting them excited about having their physical education class have a fun activity like listening to music and learning to dance! This speaker would be much sturdier than the previous speakers I've purchased out of pocket (which no longer work or have fallen in the wrong hands). Let's make P.E. Fun!
