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

Aristotle believed that virtue and excellence can only be achieved from good habits. For too many of my students, their habits are poorly formed because of rough conditions outside of their control. Most of my students are first or second generation Americans. Many face such confined living conditions that the idea of just going outside to play seems foreign to them.

To further complicate matters the reality of the learning loss caused by remote and hybrid learning has added another wrinkle to already difficult lives.

They will need so much more to be successful in the coming year.

My students need opportunities to experiences physical activities that will allow them to round into virtuous, diligent, and healthy teens and adults. These kids deserve avenues to explore what is available outside their urban environments.

To that end I am hoping to further my students love of baseball by incorporating our new pitching machine into our lessons. Not only does this give them the repetitions needed to improve at the plate. It also allows them to train in the field as the balls can be used for grounders and pop ups.
