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

Many of the children who enter my music classroom have never been in a formal classroom, and even more of my students have little to no English language skills. (Aside: my school supports our student population, which includes 29 different languages.) Consequently, when asked to sing or speak in class, my students hide and shut down.

I tried an experiment, that was truly successful, and which I am now asking that you fully fund in support of all of my students.

As expected, when asked to sing, most of the children refused to comply, so I gave them a finger puppet which they, in turn, helped “sing.” The disassociation gave each child the courage to put his/her voice out into the world, and eventually sing independently.

Thank you for your consideration.
