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 Project

Due to Covid many students did not get the physical education they needed at an age where they are developing so many life skills.

These items will help my students work on skills they were not taught in elementary school due to Covid such as: throwing and catching different items like a football, frisbee or small ball or footwork and balance like in soccer.

We also want to work on fine motor skills such has maneuvering a fishing pole to the direction you need it or bouncing and catching a ball on the ground.
