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

We provide a rigorous bilingual academic program that prepares all of our students for global citizenship in the 21st century. In the school, 97% of the students participate in the free or reduced-price lunch program. Our students are 91% Latino/Hispanic, 4% Black, 3% White, and 2% Asian.

My students love to learn and have the desire to learn.

They also love to play! My students struggle with cooperative learning, health, and fitness. They strive to grow as individuals each and every day.

My Project

Kids, idealize professional athletes and want to be just like them. If you ask a professional althlete what it takes to make it into the professional realm, they say lots of practice. During our strength training for soccer and basketball, I want to make sure my athletes have proper form. Training with proper form makes perfect. If they have proper form during their strength training, this will prevent injury.

We need exercise posters to show proper form and technique, as well as motivational posters, to keep our students working hard during practice.

I envision putting up all the posters in different sides of the gym and creating stations for students to work out during practice. I also will put all the motivational posters around the gym to push our students to be the best.

I will also use the slam balls to add a new piece of equipment to our workout. I envision using the cones to create boundaries for our stations.
