Help My Students Mountain Bike!

My students need bicycle helmets to replace broken helmets for our "Mountain Biking" unit. Bicycling is a great cardio vascular activity.

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 Students

My students are a diverse group that have backgrounds from many cultural groups. They are in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade with both boys and girls. We are a title one school with over 60% of our students eligible for school lunch. Most students are not allowed to walk, bike, skateboard, or scooter to school and they lose out on a lot of exercise. Our school has always been able to achieve high fitness scores due to quality instruction and student performance.

My Project

Mountain biking is an activity that most of my students never get to do due to the urban location of our school. Traffic is too heavy for parents to feel it safe to ride to school but our school has over 50 mountain bikes that our Physical Education students get to ride on campus. We need more helmets as ours are over 10 years old and several have broken so we do not have a class set.

Research has shown that physical activity is also a main contributor to students academic success and we support that success through biking on campus.

The physically active student will have better motivation and behavior in the classroom and biking on campus using these helmets will hep them succeeds as students.
