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

As an adapted physical education teacher, I strive to create an inclusive environment where all students, regardless of their abilities, can engage in physical activities. The basketball materials I am requesting through DonorsChoose are essential for facilitating adaptive basketball sessions tailored to meet the diverse needs of my students. These items will not only enhance their motor skills but also promote teamwork and social interaction. By providing specialized equipment, such as adjustable hoops and lightweight basketballs, I aim to ensure that every student can participate meaningfully in the learning process.

The goals for this project extend beyond simply acquiring materials, they encompass fostering a sense of belonging and confidence among my students.

By integrating adaptive basketball into our curriculum, I intend to create opportunities for physical fitness while addressing individual skill levels and promoting self-esteem. This initiative aims to cultivate a positive attitude towards physical activity that my students can carry with them beyond the classroom, ultimately leading to healthier lifestyles.

My students are exceptional individuals who face unique challenges yet possess remarkable resilience and determination. Their diverse backgrounds and varying abilities inspire me daily to find innovative ways to engage them in meaningful learning experiences. By equipping them with the necessary tools for success in adaptive basketball, I hope to empower them further and celebrate their achievements both on and off the court.
