Having Fun in Music and Learning About Latin Music
Hispanic Heritage month takes place each year from September 15th to October 15th. Students in Mrs. Dail’s adapted music classes have been participating in enjoyable and interactive activities to acquaint them with this unique culture and its music. Students began by meeting a puppet, Juan Jose, and listening to some Spanish words using the VOCA device.(For more about Mrs. Dail's Music class, please see the Second Quarter Music Newsletter link at the top of this page.)
