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 students are all high-school aged at-risk youth that live on Chicago's southwest side. We strive to expose our students to as many extracurricular activities as possible and while our school is uniquely tailored to meet the needs of this population, but we can't do it entirely on our own. That's why we're asking for your help.
To help show our students that there's more to life than their neighborhood or block and that they are capable of more than they thought, we're starting our first bowling team.
Our students know all about more popular sports like basketball and football, but not about those that require different athletic abilities and skillsets. Our goal is to promote engagement for students that may see theselves as "not good enough" for other sports and to demonstrate that their unique abilities may allow them to succeed in different ways.
Every year we have students that take pride in our sports teams, now is time to share that pride with students that can participate in other activities. It's time for the students whose skills have been downplayed their entire lives to show everyone what they can do - the bowlers, chess players, and engineers.
My Project
You can't have a bowling team without a few essential materials - shoes, pins, an alley, but most importantly bowling balls.
Providing each student with a bowling ball designed just for them will not only allow them to learn how to become better bowlers, but will also demonstrate that we are dedicated to their growth and success.
The team will also provide our students with a sense of accomplishment and worth within themselves and each other and promote collaboration and cooperation skill building.
Additionally, each of our students have unique learning styles - it's tough for everyone to learn from the same textbook, activities, or presentations. Having each ball tailored to each student will help them utilize their strengths while they learn and compete.
