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

The students at eCademy are often from a variety of non-traditional or risk oriented backgrounds. The blendEd students at eCademy, attend school in both face-to-face and online environments. These students are working to develop resiliency as well as the traditional skills acquired in a high school environment

For their face-to-face coursework this term, the focus question is, "How can I improve my health and the health of my community?" Physical and mental health are an important part of the school community as well as the community at large!

Part of this project will involve developing mindfulness and physical flexibility. The supplies needed will help students practice these skills in the classroom.

My Project

The students at eCademy are looking to improve their physical and mental health through movement and mindfulness. Yoga/exercise mats will provide a place for students to sit in comfortably on the floor while practicing mindfulness and/or stretching activities. The exercise bands will provide resistance, and help students improve their flexibility, as they practice moving and bending through yoga and pilates postures. The mats and bands will last several years and potentially serve hundreds of students who attend eCademy both now and in the future.

These materials will make it possible for students to practice various stretching and mindfulness activities while in the classroom.
