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.
I have the privilege of working with some of the most hardworking students I have ever met. They might come from low-income, high-poverty areas, but their thirst for knowledge is inspiring. Our school is Title I where the majority of students receive free or reduced-price lunch. Even though every student understands where they come from, when they come to my class, they are like every other child in the world. They love music, sports, TV, movies, and video games. They are smart, funny, creative, happy, and motivated young people. As a health and physical education teacher, I am constantly looking for creative ways to have my students be active throughout the day.
These Gopher Indoor Striker Soccer Balls are going to give me another option to use in my lessons.
I will use these Gopher Indoor Striker Soccer Balls to teach my students how to play soccer. Almost everyone in our school follows one or two world cup soccer teams. When the world cup is on, that's all they talk about.
Also, with the obesity rates being as high as they are in our country, it is important to get our students up and moving as often as possible. Introducing fun and new ways to work out helps motivate students. The younger we can reach students and encourage them to be active, the healthier they will be later in life.
