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.

Kids exercising before school? This is the norm at our K-5 building, where 79% of our 330 students are low-income and many eat breakfast at school. This year, students come in for 30 minutes of breathing and stretching exercises before having their nutritious school breakfast. What a healthy and energizing way to start our day! Although I am the K-5 ELL (English language learning) teacher, I know most of the students in our small, tight-knit school community by name. For that reason, Yoga Club is open to all students, ALL AGES (classroom teachers sometimes join in the fun, too.)

Our students love doing yoga and learning to move their bodies in different ways. They're using muscles they didn't know they had! Unfortunately, they have to do it in bare feet on the cold gym floor, which can be a shock first thing in the morning! Some kids bring in towels or blankets for the end of class when they lie on their backs, but those blankets can be slippery to stand on.

If each child had his or her own exercise mat for yoga, then they would not have to stand on the cold floor anymore. The mats will not slip and move when they stand on them, and they will cushion their backs when the students lay on them.

You can help my students maximize their first yoga and fitness experience by helping us get these mats! In order to do our exercises properly and accurately, we need the right equipment. The mats will help cushion our backs and joints and they will help us keep our balance when we stand on them in our yoga poses.
