it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
I love how energetic, creative, and caring my 4th grade students are. They bring joy and enthusiasm into the classroom every day and truly value time spent playing and learning together. Recess and movement breaks are more than just fun—they help students reset, build friendships, and return to class focused and ready to learn.
The resources we’re requesting—kickball and bases, jump ropes, football, softball and bat, cornhole, Connect Four, and a dart game—will give all students the chance to be active, develop teamwork, and practice important social-emotional skills like communication, cooperation, and good sportsmanship.
These games will make our school day more balanced, engaging, and joyful for every learner.
