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

I love how joyful, energetic, and full of potential my students are. They come to school each day excited to learn, move, and connect with their peers. Physical activity is a vital part of their development, helping them build focus, confidence, and social skills. Jump ropes will help improve health and coordination. The ring toss and catch-and-toss sets will promote teamwork, aim, and motor control. The hopscotch set will support balance, number recognition, and turn-taking. These tools make learning active, engaging, and fun—empowering my students to grow strong in both body and mind.
