This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
The majority of my students are Hispanic. The students are energetic and have a great love of soccer. The students are always eager to please the teachers and try new things. My students are happy to complete any task or participate in any game that is presented to them.
Imagine attending a school where your culture is not represented in the sports or games played at recess or PE.
This project will help the students to have something familiar and comfortable to them. Once the students see that their culture is just as important as other students' cultures, they will begin to open up and come out of their shell more.
My Project
My students need activities and sports that are focused around their culture. There is a large population of Hispanic students who attend our school. The materials requested will allow the students to participate in sports they are familiar with, as well as learn the necessary skills to be successful in this sport. We need soccer goals, corner flags, soccer balls, and armbands.
My students want to shine in something familiar to them.
Many of the students have written to me and persuaded me to help them to be able to shine in a sport that is familiar to them. This project is to help them to see that they can be successful and feel comfortable in everything they do here at school. With this requested soccer equipment the students will have great incentives in order to help maintain positive behavior and good academic standing. The students will be encouraged to follow their dreams and focus on the importance of academics and sports all at the same time.
