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

Students are fascinated with how their bodies works. The items in my cart like a life-sized skeleton shows all their bones and how the muscles are connected to the bones will help them understand the ins and outs of how their bodies move. Being a health teacher serving students from PreK-8th grade, the materials I chose such as different models of major body organs will help to see and understand how their body systems function. Knowing how their bodies work, will allow them to make safer and healthier choices. There are so many influences in our world today that it is important they know how food, drugs, smoking, alcohol, vaping and exercise can impact their health for a lifetime. It's one thing to explain it, but another to show them and have them be able to take a close look at what's inside. Having the models will help meet the learning styles of all students whether they are visual, auditory as well as kinesthetic learners. This project will bring their bodies to life!
