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 students consist of a wide range of personalities that all have one thing in common, the eagerness to grow as students. With your support of my project, I will be able to provide my students with resources for success and to be physically active.
My goal is to help scholars find a lifelong physical activity they can enjoy.
My students will work hard to get smart, have fun, and will be college ready! They are researchers, mathematicians, scientists, authors, historians, etc. My students are the future of El Paso and members of our future society. Every day, they come ready to refine their motor skills and eager to learn about their body.
My Project
Using music for physical education has motivated my students in so many ways. From my sixth graders to my eight graders they all love to work out with music. I wish you could see how much the music motivates them when they're working out.
Music has become a huge part of my class; it motivates my students to play and enjoy themselves.
Which is all you want as a physical education teacher. Sadly my little bluetooth speaker is not loud enough. There are many times where my student's are doing an activity and come up to me asking if I can turn up the music. That is why I am asking for a portable bluetooth speaker where my student's can actually hear the music while they work out. This speaker would be beneficial because I can take it anywhere and I am always on the go. There are plenty of times where I have to teach my class inside the cafeteria, in a classroom, or in the parking lot. Music plays a huge part in our day. It motivates my students in ways I wish you can see. I am asking for two speakers, so there could be enough for the other coaches.
More than half of students from low‑income households
