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

By having these items, (pickleball paddles, the balls, and cart, I will be able to teach my students how to play pickle ball. I will also teach them about playing on a team, sportsmanship, the importance of being physically active and fitness, along with various other skills students learn from playing a team sport.

My goals for this project are for my students to learn how to play pickle ball and learn the values of playing a team sport.

My students are special because they are a very diverse group of students with a wide variety of skills and interests.
