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

Cup stacking helps students develop bilateral proficiency - equal performance on both sides of the body. By increasing bilateral proficiency, a student develops a greater percentage of the right side of the brain, which houses awareness, focus, creativity and rhythm. Cup stacking helps train the brain for sports and other activities where the use of both hands is important, such as playing a musical instrument or using the computer. Sequencing and patterning are also elements of cup stacking, which can help with reading and math skills.

Students find the most success when introduced to cup stacking with formal instruction.

That instruction is then supplemented with opportunities to participate in relays, race against the clock and have fun stacking with each other. Once students have learned the various stacking patterns, sequences and techniques, they set their own personal records.
