Help me give my students something to look forward to during their breaks! Aside from a playground, we have basketball courts, soccer fields, and a volleyball net. However, we do not have the equipment needed!
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 group of kindergartners are eager to explore and learn. They are enrolled in a dual language program and are on track to becoming bilingual. They love the Hispanic culture and enjoy participating in all the cultural activities including South American, and even the European culture.
Families are extremely involved and are very supportive.
They love to come to school each and every day. The fact that they almost all have perfect attendance is testament to their eagerness, motivation and dedication to their learning experience. Out of 63 elementary schools in our district, our kindergarteners are #1 in perfect attendance in the district and my class specifically in my school! These students are extremely talented, but it is up to us adults, to provide them with the tools and skills necessary to learn and succeed.
My Project
Most of our day is spent indoors. Because of this, our students have recess time to run around and get more energy for the rest of their day. During their recess time, we go outside and they run around or play on the playground. The equipment in this project will give the students more options and more fun to have during recess. For example, kids can play soccer or a game of basketball. Their options will expand greatly. In addition to this, it will teach them cooperation and team work, which goes a long way! Our students will be extremely happy about their new equipment.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
