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

My students come to school full of excitement and energy, ready to learn, cooperate, and play with friends. They enjoy learning in the classroom but also need a way to "let their wiggles out" outside. Our playground equipment has become very scarce over the past couple of weeks. Students are raring to go and eager to play but have very few options for activities out in the yard. This can lead to a whole lot of trouble at times.

Please help us fill our empty cart with some safe, fun, and engaging playground equipment to encourage the students to play and socialize with each other.

Many of the students go home and are stuck on screens day & night. Being outdoors and enjoying the fresh air is so beneficial. Sometimes the exercise they get at school is the only physical activity they may have. Having more options will allow us to learn more games during PE lessons and then they can do these things during recess. I'm excited to give them more opportunities for physical play outdoors.
