My students need play equipment to keep them actively engaged. We do P.E. every day, but it gets hard to keep them interested with only a few balls and a few jump ropes. These balls and equipment will go a long way.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Aguon's classroom raised $818

Celebrating 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
My students come from families of low socioeconomic status. We are a Title I school where learning is accompanied by many social and emotional experiences. School is often a safe haven for our students. They feel safe and secure in coming to school every day. I am teaching 4th grade this year, so my students are in great need of physical activity. Many students speak English as their second language, so this added challenge only makes their school life harder. They have the drive to learn and welcome experiences that are fun. Our school is comprised of 80 percent Latino and 20 percent African American. We are located in an urban community where violence is common. Giving my kids the chance to see that the world is bigger than their immediate neighborhood, will give them the opportunity to succeed.
My Project
My students want to learn how to play volleyball, hockey, soccer, kickball, and basketball. We have one classroom ball and one jump rope. When I explained that different sports have different balls and different weights, they immediately asked if we could get some. Only a handful of my students have played organized sports, so giving them the opportunity of sports many privileged kids have would be a great gift. They are also interested in working with other 4th grade classes to start organized sports games during recess. These soccer and volleyballs as well as the ball assortment would make them feel important and appreciated. Help me help them.
