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 Students
Imagine having Physical Education class without a gymnasium. Now picture these same students not having their own equipment to be physically active with. Well, that is the situation which the students at our school face. Yet, our students are always so excited about coming to Physical Education class.
Our students live in a low income neighborhood.
These children all receive free lunch as part of the Title I program. Our school population comes from very diverse backgrounds. Many of these families also live in temporary housing. You would never know any of this by looking at the faces of these children. They come to school smiling everyday and love seeing their teachers greet them daily.
My Project
Due to COVID regulations, sharing equipment during gym class is close to impossible. With these yoga mats, students will have their own personal mat to practice the yoga poses and meditation on without the fear of getting sick by sharing mats.
Yoga is a beneficial unit when it comes to younger students.
They not only strengthen muscles by stretching, but they also increase balance, gross motor skills, and tap into their emotions with our deep breathing exercises.
Giving our minds a break from the stress of academics and everyday will exponentially help students in many ways.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
