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 Students

I have a fun and energetic group of third graders. They come with a variety of needs - many behind in multiple areas of academics. I believe that with the right tools, these students can achieve great things.

I'd love to give these students a chance at success by giving them the tools necessary to succeed.

I don't believe it takes too much as these students can almost get there on their own, but every little bit counts in these lives.

My Project

The students in my classroom do not have a dedicated physical education teacher. As the classroom teacher, I have to take them out for their PE time. It is very common for me to lack supplies for effective physical education. I am slowly adding items to my PE stock to improve my PE program.

Physical Education is such an important aspect of my student's education.

Not only does it help them learn different activities to do, it teaches them about teamwork, fairness, and so much more!

The balls that I am asking for will help the students engage in fun PE activities such as dodge ball and kickball. They will provide a safe way to enjoy physical activity!
