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 very diverse backgrounds. They live in a socio-economic depressed area. We are a title 1 school and most of my students are on free/reduced lunch. I have students who are homeless, who are new-comers to this country, who speak English as a second language, and who have special needs.
As diverse as my students are, they all have one thing in common-they are always ready to try their best.
My students care about their future and want to learn to be the best they can be. They want to be active in their community. They want to be leaders.
My Project
My students have been stuck inside for about 5 months now and will not be returning to school any time soon. It is vital that they keep moving, not only for their physical health but also for their mental health. Unfortunately, most of my students don't have the resources or equipment to do this.
By giving my students a "go bag" of equipment, it is my hope that we can keep them moving during this uncertain and highly stressful time.
It is my intention to fill the drawstring bag with many items that my students can use at home to keep in shape physically. The hacky sack can be used for eye-foot coordination by using it with your feet, but it can also be used for hand-eye coordination when used for juggling. The jump rope will be used for aerobic activity and the frisbee for strength and coordination. These will be added to other items such as tennis balls and pedometers.
The laminating machine will be used to make cards for students to learn the parts of the body. By putting bones and muscles in the proper place, students can learn how their bodies move and how they can improve that movement. They can also learn proper nutrition. This machine can also be used in my science classes.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
