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

Day in and day out, my lively group of fourth graders show big smiles and a can-do attitude to take on any project I send their way. They are a big-hearted bunch that glad to be back in school learning and with friends. They care about each other and the world. It is really a special group.

My Project

Having the right equipment for Physical Education is not only the best way to teach students the proper forms for play, but it is also highly motivating.

Volleyballs, basketballs, and frisbees will keep my students playing hard and lay the groundwork for a lifetime of physical fitness.

These volleyballs, basketballs, and flying discs are perfect to introduce my students to the rudiments of these different sports, keep them active and fit, and give them the opportunity to play in an organized and intentional way as we go out to Physical Education.
