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 been blessed to move up to third grade with my students from last year when I taught most of them in second grade. We have gone through many trials and tribulations together, and, as our journey continues, I know my students will be lifelong learners and respectful citizens. These students are eager to learn and put forth their best effort in all that they do. As their teacher, I am proud to work with them, ensuring they are successful.

My Project

Being a teacher and a coach is an amazing position, as I am able to open many doors for our upcoming generation. These elementary aged students are being given the opportunity to engage in team building athletics without the financial burden outside sports offer.

The basketballs will be used by our new basketball team.

We have 28 amazing beginning athletes who have joined our first basketball team this season. Many have never dribbled a basketball before, let alone been a part of a team. These balls will be shared practicing team passing drills, during practice, and outside on the court.

The softballs will be utilized during the beginning of our second year of offering softball. These will be used in practice to assist with catching and throwing skills.

The jump ropes and skip its will be used to build endurance during activities and stations while conditioning.
