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 Students

My students are eager to come to school everyday and are very determined to be successful. They always remain positive, even in this very tough time. They come to school every day ready to learn something new and with the determination to achieve success. I want to be able to give them all the support they need to be the best person they can be.

My Project

I have started many athletic programs in our elementary school to encourage student motivation and attendance. Students who participate in extracurricular activities tend to perform better in the classroom. With the use of a speaker, we can motivate these bright minds during our Physical Education setting. When the kids are moving the music is always on, when the music turns off the students know to stop and listen for instructions. This item will be easier to carry especially when you have to carry all the equipment we will be using for the day.
