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.
Here at KLA, we represent diversity. Our students come from all different types of backgrounds, as well as our teachers. Not only are we motivated in bringing our students together, but also our community. Establishing a community within our school starts with creating a family, and creating a family means caring for each other. And coming here to DonorsChoose.org to tell our story is an additional step as a teacher to show our students that we care.
Currently, our students have set personal health and fitness goals that they have been working hard toward achieving every day.
Thus, as an educator, it is my duty to provide the appropriate supplies for them to do so. And currently, we are definitely lacking in fitness supplies. Many of my students have hidden athletic talent, excellent form and technique within exercises and activities, although are not able to fully perform and achieve because of equipment and environmental conditions. While attempting new exercises and activities weekly, my students stay positive and optimistic while striving to reach their goals. Not only do my students deserve help, but they also deserve gratitude and recognition for how they have helped me in my life.
My Project
Within our Physical Education Department we have set new and ambitious goals for our students, and adding a fitness unit is one of those goals. Our state standard FitnessGram tests are a large component of how we approach our physical education classes and implementing a fitness unit within our curriculum will help bridge the gap between personal health and wellness and our FitnessGram tests. Not only will these kettlebells push our students to strive within the fitness world, but start a health and wellness journey that hopefully continues beyond our classroom, and school. In addition to educating students about health and wellness, our program could also use hockey/soccer goals.
