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 the best and most energetic people I have ever met. They are excited to learn and I am excited to teach them. My goal is to build an environment that serves as a safe space where students love to come each and every day. My students have individualized physical and health goals that they are all striving to meet so they can live the healthiest lifestyle possible. With your help, I will achieve the best active environment possible for these intelligent students!

My Project

Coming into PE class can be scary for many of our students who lack physical activity in their daily lives. I am striving to teach my students all the ways that physical activity can be incorporated into their lives. These bikes can be used daily as a great warm up, cool down or fitness station. The best part is, students of all fitness levels will be able to be successful while using this piece of equipment. I know my students will be so excited for this opportunity and take full advantage of the bikes. Thank you for any support you can provide!
