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

Our students are brilliantly resilient scholars who come from immigrant, blue-collar working households close to downtown LA. Many of them attend school year-round to catch up on reading and writing skills. These students tirelessly work toward fluency in English while continuing to persevere through the struggles of their community.

The culture we are promoting at our school is college readiness through the use of strategies such as physical organization, note-taking, and paraphrasing.

Students show up every day ready to tackle the day's objectives and build community with one another.

My Project

This project will allow my team to continue drills longer, help them pass to a target, and allow me to keep track of their rotations. When a team is able to increase their number of repetitions, they can severely improve in their teamwork and competition. My team has the talent, but they need the practice to become great! As of now, drill goes slowly because of the amount of girls we have with the amount of equipment. With patience and perseverance, these girls continue to come to practice and give it their best work. I’m proud to be their coach and to share my love of the game with them.
