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 Students

I have very eager to learn students that love to participate in class. My group is a wide diverse yet mostly populated by creole students that appreciate every lesson that we do in class. They are not shy to ask questions. They are full of energy, friendly, and also decisive which makes the learning environment fun.

My Project

The list of equipment that I have chosen for my students is to enhance their learning experience in the PE world. Nowadays, many kids spend less time outdoors staying physically active and more time indoors by the usage of technology. My goal is that by doing a Unit on Lacrosse, flag football, badminton, volleyball and basketball my students will learn different movement skills concepts.

The agility hurdles, gymnastic foam mats, hula hoops and gator balls would be used to create cooperative games which will help them build relationships and enhance their communication skills

My kids will benefit from any equipment that we can get our hands on because every lesson from each unit will teach students good sportsmanship, being a positive role model, building confidence, work on team building and understanding how to overcome challenges.
