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.

I am a 4th grade teacher who is teaching in NYC about 14 blocks for where the Mets play. All my students get free lunch.

The problem that I am currently facing is getting materials, with all the budget cuts, to make learning fun. All my students this year are interested in baseball. Through our many conversations I am trying to plan lessons around baseball including behavioral and social issues.

I have requested many books both on baseball and social issues, as well as rewards and an ink pad with stamps. These materials will engage my students in learning about the history of the game. Since they all live very close to a stadium and have ll visited it they will be able to learn about the game that they love.

For the love of the game please allow my underprivileged students to become engaged and learn throughout the year the history of America's Pastime.
