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 Students

"Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision." Andrew Carnegie

I have a group of active 10 and 11 year old youngsters, who love having fun and getting physically fit on the field!

Whether it is running laps or completing drills and exercises, our students welcome any physical activity challenge!

My students represent a very mixed population both culturally and economically, and despite challenges, they always give their own personal best and push to succeed! I teach at a Title I school where I am lucky enough to get to work with such dedicated and hard working students and partner with a group of supportive parents who share the common goal of a quality education for their children.

My Project

The equipment is "kid-inspired" as they look forward to training for our 5th grade vs. teacher softball game. For a long time, they have wanted the right equipment to help them prepare to "outscore" the teachers and win the game!

They will engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day as students develop their throwing, catching, and hitting skills in preparation for the big game.

Cardio spots will be used for warm-ups. Having an additional bat and gloves will give students the opportunity to perfect skill. Students can practice their pitching skills with the netting. Gear will be utilized in practice and their big game to protect the catcher. Teamwork and sportsmanship will be fostered through this project.

They will integrate the resources into the classroom by sharing what they have learned through presentations and modeling of ways which their peers can be active. For example, they might create a poster on different types of sports and share how participating in these types of sports contribute to the overall health and well-being of individuals.

The use of these materials will increase the overall health and activity level of my students by first and foremost getting them active! It is my hope that that being active today will lead them to a healthier and active future and a role model to others.
