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.

Everyday in class my students work out their brains, their eyes and ears, even their hands (writing!). I have a classroom full of textbooks, papers, workbooks and other tools for these kinds of workouts. But at my school I receive hardly any resources for working out my students' muscles. Like many teachers I notice that many of my students are overweight, they eat unhealthily and they rarely exercise. This is a sad fact in many schools like mine. My school is full of kids who live in poverty. The live in apartment buildings and don't have yards to play in. It is not always safe to play in the street and there are few parks close by. No wonder many don't exercise! Yes, I do tell them to do more exercise and eat better, but actions speak louder than words. Besides, although they trust me, they may not fully believe me. So I have an idea. I want to show them how they are already exercising their body—a little. I will use the technique I use in class regularly—I get them to understand that they already have had some success, and that they will have more success if they try a little harder. My students walk a lot, but not enough. I want to show them how walking helps them to be healthier, but then tell them that they need to do more. I read about a program in another city that gives kids pedometers and asks them to take 10,000 steps everyday. I want a class set of pedometers to give to my students so we can first measure how many steps they take each day, and then I can help them to increase that amount to 10,000. They are going to be so excited to have their teacher tell them to get up and walk around the classroom a couple times each day! (Of course that alone won’t do it, but it will be just one part of a comprehensive program of walking at recess and lunch, before school and after school, and at home.) Your gift of pedometers for us will make exercise a little more fun, a little more exciting and cool. Plus, it makes for wonderful math practice--we will have to calculate how far we travel each day (let's see, 10,000 times 3 feet equals?). Please help us out--we can't wait to start counting our steps!
