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

I will be teaching 6th grade in the Fall. I am in need of different types of balls for recess. I want to create a fun environment for them so they can enjoy the social aspect of school.

I have been a primary teacher for many years.

This is a new grade and a new role for me. These recess items will help my students to release energy and socialize with their peers. Middle Schoolers deserve a positive and welcoming environment to encourage their well-being. With these tools, we can accomplish so much!
