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
For most of my students, it is their first time to attend school. So it is my goal to spark their interest in all aspects of their academics.
Pre-kindergarten students are very enthusiastic learners!
We are at a Title I school with a very high percentage of students and families living in low income homes. Most of my students are English language learners. While poverty and language can present barriers for my students, they are learning not to let their challenges get in the way of education. As their teacher, it is my job to create excitement in their daily routines at school in order to make their school experience fun and worthwhile.
My Project
Have you ever encountered a child who whined about going out for Physical Education? As an ETK (Expanded Transitional Kindergarten) teacher, one of my goals is to develop confidence in play, team building, and physical strengthening for my students.
“The more risks you allow your children to make, the better they learn to look after themselves.” ~ Roald Dahl
Technology and video games have taken a toll in today's youth and most are deprived of outdoor physical play. My ETK team will benefit from the outdoor equipment by strengthening their gross motor skills during our sports days.
Basketball, baseball and soccer will teach them the fundamental skills of bouncing, hitting and kicking. They will further develop stronger muscles through jumping and throwing, using the various outdoor games and sports equipment in this project. These skills are integral in the development of my students' future experiences in sports. Didn't our famous sports figures start their careers when they were four years old?
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
