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 kindergarten-first grade students are full of joy, excitement, and an eagerness for learning. I have so much fun teaching them how to ride bikes in our after-school cycling club. Our school is 92% economically disadvantaged and 79% English Learners. My Cycling Club is a diverse mix of students, including English Learners, gifted and talented students, and students from around the world. My students have unique personalities, and they're all very sweet and caring toward others.
My K-first Cycling Club kiddos would be so grateful for bikes and helmets to learn how to safely ride a bike.
Thank you in advance for helping me provide a well-rounded education for my very deserving students.
My Project
Bike-riding is many children's favorite pastime. I would love to provide my students the opportunity to learn how to ride a bike in kindergarten. Riding a bike is something that should be learned at an early age, or it may never be accomplished due to fear or embarrassment. Teaching at a Title I, high poverty campus means that many of my students may have limited transportation options in their future. Learning how to safely ride a bike can provide them access to otherwise unattainable opportunities.
This project will allow me to teach my students how to ride a bike safely through an after-school Cycling Club.
Additionally, I would be able to teach them about the ecological benefits of alternative transportation and the health benefits of daily physical activity. This experience will widen their perspective. They will gain a valuable skill that will benefit them for years to come.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
