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 Project

The hula hoops, goals and jump ropes will make a differences in my students learning because it will provide them with an opportunity with both physical and mental benefits.

My goal for this project is to provide the time and resources for my students to jump rope and hula hoop around the goals.

Doing these physical activities will promote fitness benefits on their cardiovascular system. Hula hooping and jumping will also help students manage their stress.

My students are special because they enjoy learning. They are a pleasure to teach because they are full of questions. Students in my classroom are always willing to help each other out.
