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

Our students are getting in shape to pass our fifth-grade physical fitness test. One day a week, our students work on their flexibility with yoga classes. We currently have just enough mats for two fifth-grade classes. Unfortunately, we do not have enough to replace mats that may have ripped or no longer able to be used. There are two general education classes and one Special Education class that use the mats we currently have. With repeated use, the mats suffer from regular wear and tear. Your donations will help us to replace mats that are no longer useful.

We are also working on our strength with dumbbells; some of our students have gone from 3-pound weights to 5-pound weights.

We currently do not have 5-pound weights for them. Your donation will allow for our students to increase the weight that they are working with.

Finally, we are also asking for a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card in order to freely find and pay for specific lessons. The lessons will include learning about muscles and the effects of certain workouts. We have researched lessons on TPT and found some great ones, however we do not have the funds to pay for those lessons. Your donation will allow us to pay for those lessons.
