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

We are a high school, special ed class in an awesome 109-year-old high school that services those with low-income and Title I needs. Our class consists of students with a wide range of abilities from autism to speech language impairments and cognitively delayed.

Every day is a new adventure when we enter our doors.

We have quite an assortment of interests and skills and we like to see how many different ways we can incorporate them into our daily lives.

My Project

According to Roy H. Williams, "String Theory describes energy and matter as being composed of tiny, wiggling strands of energy that look like strings. And the pitch of a string's vibration determines the nature of its effect." This quote clearly describes my classroom when even just a couple of students have extra energy they need to get out.

The requested materials will not only help my students be able to work off some of their energy while still being able to focus on their work at their seat but build some tone in areas many are lacking.

The equipment will allow students to work on their balance and leg muscles (to build strength in the torso which supports sitting and standing/walking straighter and breathing better.) and hand strength (to aid in stamina with writing).
