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

Who does not love sports or physical activities? My kindergartners love to participate in physical activities. They love to run, jump, chase each other, race, basketball, soccer, and to compete against each other. I love this about them. Unfortunately, we lack physical education equipment in our classroom.

I want my students to engage in activities that are going to build their confidence, peer acceptance, leadership skills, and empathy.

The social benefits children receive from sports and physical activity can have a significant effect on a child's health, happiness, and future.

The products I have selected will help my students participate in physical activities increasing the feeling of connection between classmates. By working in pairs and cooperating with each other, students will use the parachute as a problem solving activity boosting their self-esteem and self-confidence. By using the soccer equipment, students will foster leadership skills, tolerance, empathy, hard work, decision-making, problem-solving, and communication.

Physical activities are beneficial at any age and starting young will build the foundation to continue with a healthy lifestyle.
