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 will use these basketballs to play multiple team and individual activities. The best part about these balls is that they are soft, so if a student accidentally gets hit with one, it doesn't hurt. These balls will teach crucial basketball skills dribbling and shooting. They will also be used in many leadup games to help teach skills for team sports such as softball, basketball, football, and rugby, among others. Students will learn several skills in multiple physical education and team sports activities.

Students' lives will be changed for the better by this equipment because they will get to do many fun and challenging activities while also learning critical skills to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle.
