Help me give my students nylon drum sticks so they can be active as a group, engage the entire body, elevate the heart rate and activate the brain by crossing the midline of the body.

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
My school is a Title I school and this is only the second year that they have had a full time certified Physical Education Teacher. Most of my students are not involved in after school/weekend sport leagues or activities, therefore, I feel that they truly can gain a lot of lifelong fitness and health skills in our PE time together.
I love their enthusiasm and desire to be active, because so much is new to them, they have a fearless desire.
My Project
The plastic drumsticks specifically designed for fitness will provide my students and I an opportunity to integrate rhythm and music into the physical education classroom. In addition, every students will have a piece of equipment, so all will be engaged at the same time...with this grant I could have an entire grade level active all at one time.
It will directly relate to several state Physical Education Standards involving following a teacher in a rhythmic routine/dance, understanding heart rate increases, using our body weight to increase fitness, and crossing the mid-line to activate and engage both sides of the brain.
More than three‑quarters of 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
