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

In this project, I am requesting a sports equipment cart for my students. As part of an incentive system, my students can earn a day of preferred activity when they meet their weekly performance goals. Most classes are motivated by this and as a result, the majority of students demonstrate great effort in accomplishing their goals. The result is a wide variety of equipment that is used.

This equipment cart will allow students to look at all the equipment that is available and think about what they want to play and motivate other students who did not meet theirs to get the needed support so they can also participate.

Also, this will help create a better and cleaner look to our equipment which will contribute to a positive classroom learning environment.

An equipment cart that inspires students to do their personal best for the purpose of their total development while contributing to a class that is well-organized will build on what we are currently doing, which is providing a safe learning environment.
