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

The students at our school are eager to play outside and get moving. After Hurricane Irma, we were out of school for almost 12 days. Many teachers and students in our area had no power for days, yet they managed to keep a smile on their faces.

My students are high energy, always wanting to run their laps and play sports.

The aftermath of Irma has left our field with multiple piles of tree debris making it difficult for the students to play safely on the field. We are working hard to get it cleaned up and making the field ready for field day approaching soon.

My Project

The cones and spray paint materials will help clearly mark the areas that still have debris from Hurricane Irma and where the students should and shouldn't be while playing in PE. Students in PE can look forward to having playground balls to play different games and be more activate during their physical education time.

As part of field day, the students will be excited to have a track painted for the running events and have a new tug-of-war rope for Field Day.

The bullhorn will allow me to gather students during field day for each event and keep the momentum going. The equipment will be used for safety, field day events and everyday participation in PE to keep the kids activity and involved.
