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

I love how energetic, curious, and full of life my students are. They come to school each day eager to move, learn, and grow—not just in the classroom, but through physical activity as well. My students thrive when they have opportunities to play, collaborate, and challenge themselves physically.

The scooter hockey set will give them a fun, safe way to develop coordination, teamwork, and sportsmanship while staying active indoors.

The soccer balls will allow them to engage in team play, build foot-eye coordination, and practice important skills like passing, strategy, and communication. The playground balls will be used in a variety of games and activities that promote inclusion, turn-taking, and motor skills.
