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.
My Students
My kids are special! They live in a high poverty city in California. Many families share homes, and, because of safety issues, there are not many opportunities to go outside and play. They attend a Title I school where there is a free or reduced-price lunch and breakfast program that above 90% of the students use.
I teach 25 kindergarten students in this school.
Most of my students are experiencing their first public school classroom. The children are sweet, smart, and enthusiastic. They love to come to school and learn!
My Project
My students are stuck in their homes. They need to get active and stay active. Jump ropes, in just a few minutes, can give them quite an intense aerobic exercise. They cannot go to the park. Most of them do not have a backyard where they can safely play actively. The jump rope can go with them everywhere. They can squeeze in a good workout anywhere anytime.
Juggling is also an active activity that will help them learn to focus.
Focus on what needs to be done is an important skill.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
