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

During my last few years of teaching, I have learned that as much as students enjoy learning, they obviously love to go enjoy some fresh air and fun.

With the items in my project, we would be engaging in several team sports that would help foster collaboration, teamwork, and accountability.

3 important qualities that easily transfer over well in the classroom. Some of the activities we would engage in are soccer, volleyball, football, and speed.

I am excited to see the difference engaging in these games will have on their learning as they improve their team efforts, their independence, and learn new skills along the way.,
