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 love the game of soccer. We have set up two goals on our field so they can play at recess. But this has created a problem for our students. Our grade levels overlap during recess. As groups are coming out, it is creating a problem with the number of students playing soccer. When the numbers get too big, it creates an unsafe opportunity for the students that are playing. We have a very large field for recess, so I would like to put another set of goals for students to use for soccer. This would allow us to keep each grade level on a certain soccer field and decrease the number students participating in each game. As a result, students can play safely and enjoy soccer at recess.
