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

Using tennis balls for P.E. has been very beneficial. Students who did not want to participate in activities did nothing. Having the tennis balls and racquets as an option has inspired many students to participate. They are using the equipment to learn how to play tennis, but they also use the equipment to play baseball or hit it against the handball board.

Just the fact that they are participating is so nice to see.

Students these days can be very lazy. Giving them opportunities lets the student own their education. They have used the tennis balls so much that they have lost their bounce.

That is why I am asking for tennis balls, to keep the momentum going.
