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.
I have the honor of working with some of the most amazing students. I have students that are always willing to pull through and pull together to work and help out others. Students that I work with come from very low economic and poverty homes, yet they come every day with a positive attitude and the hunger to learn. They always tell me how I inspire them to do better for themselves, but I always tell them that they always inspire me to do more because I see their efforts and how hard they work for me.
My students are a wonderful example of what it means to work hard for what you really want in this world.
They push themselves to help not only themselves here at school but also help their parents at home. Many of my students have a part time job even as young as 15 and 16 years of age and some maintain jobs while in school full time. They are not afraid of working in the fields over the winter and spring break or even the hot summer days so that they can help their parents.
My Project
Keeping students involved and interested in academics sometimes means keeping them involved and engaged in extracurricular activities and sports that they like and enjoy. Being a small school we do not have sports on campus that students can take part in, but we do have students that want to play sports. By having these balls and this equipment, we can keep students motivated to be part of home team here on campus. During club bash we had sign ups for different sports and the amount of students wanting to take part was amazing.
When we told students that we would work on building teams for soccer, volleyball, and flag football, they were all super excited and started motivating each other to take part and sign up.
That is exactly what leads me to putting this project together. I do not have to be a physical education teacher to keep students engaged in sports. I will however collaborate with colleagues to ensure that we are promoting safety first while they are learning the rules and team building.
