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 Students

I want to give my students so much because they have so little. Most of the students I work with come from homes below the poverty line in the Bronx, and I want them to have the chance to experience something positive that can influence their lives. Some of these students don't have access to the simplest supplies at home.

I want my students to be exposed to as much as possible so that they don't fall behind.

Even though they have so much going against them, they bounce back each time and come to school ready to learn. They look to our school as a safe place away from their living environment, and that makes me want to provide them with everything I can.

My Project

This school year, there are so many unknowns. I am trying to develop some good ideas for physical education classes that are social distance activities. I think active gaming is a great idea that can help the students stay engaged. Students can play different games that are considered cardiovascular activity. For example, a Nintendo Switch can help improve students' overall fitness level by actively participating in various games. The equipment being asked are different gaming equipment, which can be used with the Nintendo switch

This year, having various games will keep the students motivated to participate in physical education class.

I know my students will be very excited to participate in an active gaming unit because most of my students play some sort of video games at home. Bringing a Nintendo switch into a physical education setting can help engage students in activity, increasing their heart rate.
