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.
Our students and families speak Spanish, Mam, Tongan, Arabic, Tagalog, Karen, Karenni, Nepali and Chinese. Since 45% of our students are English Language Learners, we have a rich academic program to meet their language needs. Our newcomer program serves up to forty students in our community who have moved here in the last year and speak little English. We also have a rich African American student population that thrives at our school.
Our students reflect the neighborhood's diverse immigrant and minority populations.
Throughout the year, we have cultural celebrations to celebrate the histories, cultures, and accomplishments of our diverse student population. While 9 out of 10 of our students are socioeconomically disadvantaged, we are rich in so many ways.
My Project
We have students who came from all different backgrounds, but when it comes to being on a team, they are one! Our kids train hard, and though they might not have all the bells and whistles when it comes to equipment, they have each other, and they become a family! We want to be able to give them team-building exercises to hone in on skills, and build their community.
Having sports games to play with not only improves their skills, it also helps to build their sports community and team mindset!
In this project you will find:
- New Dodgeballs (the softer kind, not rubber!)
- Large Checkers (to learn about thinking steps ahead and game plays)
- multiple team building exercises to grow sportsmanship, learn fine tuning skills like hand/eye coordination, and most importantly, have fun together!
- 2 Large locking cabinets: because we are a shared campus with another school, our gym and outside space is shared. We want to be able to lock items up to keep them in good condition by not giving everyone access without permission.
