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

We come from a low-income area and within our physical education department we don’t have a gymnasium. We provide opportunities for all students to be successful in their learning with the limited resources that are accessible. Each student brings their own unique personalities and contribute to the class in a positive manner.

My Project

The various size and density of the footballs, soccer balls, and volleyballs will address all students' learning needs. The color-coordination will help will vison when practice skills in physical education class. Using junior sized footballs will assist students with gripping the equipment and work on their hand-eye coordination. Providing various options with equipment addresses every skill level and provides maximum chances for students to succeed/. The water will help my students remain hydrated during and after physical education class. The water provides a healthier option than sugary drinks sold in stores.
