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 a Middle School Setting, our students look forward to having a break while at recess. Our students love to play soccer, basketball, volleyball etc. while enjoying the outside. However, our campus lacks the equipment to play these team-building sports.

To keep our students engaged and active, while also teaching them about good sportsmanship and problem-solving skills, this opportunity will allow an outlet of energy and help them focus upon returning to their classroom during learning time after recess.

With over 400 students on our campus, this equipment typically is popular while at recess which allows more play time with more peer-to-peer interaction. Help me keep recess fun, engaging, and overall interactive.
