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
Imagine having Physical Education class without a gymnasium. Now picture these same students not having their own equipment to be physically active with. Well, that is the situation which the students at our school face. Yet, our students are always so excited about coming to Physical Education class.
Our students live in a low income neighborhood.
These children all receive free lunch as part of the Title I program. Our school population comes from very diverse backgrounds. Many of these families also live in temporary housing. You would never know any of this by looking at the faces of these children. They come to school smiling everyday and love seeing their teachers greet them daily.
My Project
Fine motor skills refer to the coordination between a child's small muscles, like those in their hands, wrists, and fingers in coordination with their eyes. Fine motor skills involve the small muscles of the body that enable such functions as writing, grasping small objects, and fastening clothing. Motor planning is the ability for us to receive information, organize the information and then carry out a specific sequence of skills, activities, or movements. Motor planning includes our planning of speech movements, cognitive movements, and physical movements.
Fine motor skills and motor planning are a necessity for students who are still growing and learning.
These cups for speed stacking will help students improve these skills while still having fun in an educational, special way.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
