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

The potato sacks and dodgeballs I am requesting will be used during P.E. My students will use the potato sacks to engage in good old fashioned relay races.

As the students jump across our playing field, they will also be developing their cardio health and bone health.

Jumping helps to increase bone density, and this positive outcome can last a lifetime! The dodgeballs will be used to develop eye hand coordination and teamwork in a safe manner. Timid students won't be afraid to use these soft balls! Please help me to expand the wonderful P.E. program that I have developed over the year.
