Help me give my students an opportunity to enjoy indoor recess just as much as they can enjoy outdoor recess.

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.
My Project
I was asked to tell what I love about my students. Well, that is quite the layered question that has a layered response.
I remember going into my second year of teaching and I was trying to figure, how in the world could I love another set of students the way I had loved my first group of students.
I equated this moment to the feelings of those parents that are so deeply in love with their first child but discover that they are going to have a second child and worry that they will not love the other child the way they loved their first. I remember that moment just like it was yesterday. It was the first day of school of my second year of teaching, and as I walked my students up the stairs to their new home away from home, I stood on the top landing and watched my new students following me. In that moment, I literally felt my heart make room for more love to be given and received. The moment bought me to tears. It's five years later, and my heart still skips a beat with every new school year! The games, jump ropes, and recess balls that are a part of this project will help my students continue to build bonds with each other, while encouraging social emotional support for one another and fostering a positive classroom culture.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
