Celebrating 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 adapted PE program contains about 23 students with special needs. We love to dance, complete our fitness workouts and be included with our peers. The general physical education curriculum can not accommodate all of our needs. Some of us require special attention such as urinary catheterization and feeding tubes. Some of us are very sensitive to the sun and must remain indoors to prevent the possibility of having a seizure. Adapted PE considers all of our diverse needs in a fun and inclusive setting!
All of my students live within the Watts community, which is one of the poorest communities in Los Angeles.
Many of my students come from single parent households and live well below the poverty line. Many of the programs at our school have recently been cut due to a lack of funding. PE is one of the programs we still have, so help us keep that around!
My Project
Our yoga mats have recently been stolen out of the dance room where we store some of our equipment. Due to the various mobility needs my students have, we relied on doing yoga twice a week in an effort to increase our stability and our flexibility. One student has reported that he falls less due to his increased flexibility! In additional to stability and flexibility, yoga is a great tool that provides body awareness. Students with gross motor delays have learned how their body's operate in space, leading to a more active lifestyle in and out of the classroom.
In addition to yoga mats, students enjoy watching yoga videos through the use of a projector.
The projector we use is old and outdated. My students don't have the best vision and the use of this older projector has them straining, leading them to check out of our planned activity. I would like to get them a new projector that is sensitive to their eyesight while being visually appealing. Additionally, the use of a video allows me to go around the classroom and provide modifications and adaptations where appropriate. It truly helps my ability to appropriately teach a class of students with diverse needs.
The other items listed would help me and my staff appropriately support the severe population of students we work with. For example, latex free gloves to help with changing and transporting students in and out of wheelchairs. Hand sanitizer will help keep the students and staff germ free during the cold and flu seasons. Additionally, balloons and beach balls are fun and easy to use implements for students with gross motor delays!
