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

I have an amazing bunch of third graders. They have recently fell in love with playing four square and kicking the balls high up in the air. We have been in desperate need of different kinds of balls and equipment. This way students are able to enjoy their break, socialize with friends and practice different social skills. For example, they enjoy four square and always play it the whole recess. This games provides opportunities for students to problem solve and encourage one another. This will help immensely give students more choices on recess equipment.
