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

My students come from a below-poverty-level area, and I attempt to offer them every possible experience. They demonstrate a love for outdoor play, but they become bored easily. With your assistance, we can revitalize the playground and make it more enjoyable. We engage in outdoor games, and I bring toys from the classroom to the playground, but the students often perceive these toys as being intended for indoor use. Given their intellectual capabilities, I think outdoor games and balls can help prevent boredom. I am extremely grateful to have such a bright and enthusiastic class.
