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

My players are eager to participate in team sports out on the field. They would like to explore a different sport that they have not played yet. Having football equipment will allow our team to work together to learn the game, as well as discuss plays, and rules needed to score.

With football equipment, our team will be able to explore and experience the excitement of a new sport.

Football will require my players to collaborate with each other as a team. They will use their communication skills to come up with a plan on how to beat their opposing team. My players have shown great interest in the sport, and although some may have already played the sport, there are also some who will be experiencing this sport for the very first time.
