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

A Gaga Ball pit will make a difference in my students' learning by promoting physical fitness, social skills, and strategic thinking in an engaging and inclusive way. The fast-paced, inclusive nature of Gaga Ball allows students of all abilities to improve teamwork, sportsmanship, and fair play while developing agility, coordination, and endurance. Gaga Ball supports sensory regulation and movement, which can improve focus in the classroom.

Without a gymnasium, it is important to offer students a variety of physical activity and games.

A portable Gaga Ball pit will allow for game play in multiple locations and be easy to store.
