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

Movement is essential for young learners, especially in early childhood. With a kid-friendly exercise machine, our students will have a healthy outlet for energy, which can improve focus, reduce stress, and support emotional regulation throughout the school day. This resource will give them a fun, safe, and age-appropriate way to move their bodies while building important habits that support both physical and mental well-being.

Our goal is to create a learning environment that prioritizes both the heart and the mind.

Our students are energetic, joyful, and resilient. Many come from underserved communities, and we want to give them every opportunity to succeed—mentally, emotionally, and physically. This project is one small step toward creating a calm and supportive classroom where movement and learning go hand in hand
