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

I love seeing my students engaged in learning. They are special because they are full of love, creativity, and eager to learn. They are at poverty or below poverty level and receive free school breakfasts and lunches and do not have the same resources to learn as the suburban districts. Even a pencil and paper are not items they have available and have to be provided by the teacher so they can assess learning. I have no funding to provide the materials other than my own money, which I will use to buy the dry erase markers and felt pieces to use as erasers.

If my students had dry erase boards, they would be able to write their responses to questions and music so I could quickly access their learning.

They would be able to write dictated rhythm patterns, answer multiple choice questions, and compose music using a dry erase marker. When they hold up their board for me to see, I can quickly see which students need additional help and which students have the concept learned. The students will be able to draw lines, write music notes and then sing them to me.

Your donation will make a difference because all the students will engage in "total response". I will not have any students just sitting in a chair, daydreaming while some other students answer questions orally or write on the board. Every child will be able to respond and no child will be left behind! You will make a difference in their lives by providing them with the materials they need to learn and be successful in creating and performing music!
