Celebrating 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 are curious and enthusiastic learners. They are natural scientists who love conducting hands-on experiments. They attend a Title One school, and live in one of the roughest neighborhoods in our city. Despite these challenges, my students are eager to learn when provided with the opportunity and resources. Our school offers a safe space for them to grow and flourish. We have an exceptionally strong social support system, with counselors working with small groups of students on an ongoing basis from grades six to twelve. This is to ensure they graduate from high school and enroll in college.
My goal is to create an exciting, positive, learning environment for my students to explore the world around them.
Most of my students come from homes where academic enrichment opportunities outside of school are limited. They truly appreciate any of the extras we can bring into the classroom.
My Project
It is Autumn in New York. The temperature is mild, the air is crisp, and the leaves are red, yellow, green, orange, and brown. This is the best time to play outside. We have basketballs, soccer balls, volley balls, and softballs for our students to play with during their lunch and gym periods, but not all of our students like to play ball. Many will just sit around the edges of yard, slouched against the fence.
Let's get them off the sidelines with some skateboards and helmets.
Skating is not just an activity for young children. These sturdy skateboards are suitable for teenagers that weigh up to 200lbs. Many of our students have not had an opportunity to learn to ride a bike. Let's start them off on these skateboards so they can learn to have fun on wheels. Being active outside can not only enhance a child's overall health, but it can also improve their behavior and academic performance in school.
