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

Most of my underprivileged students do not get the opportunity to play in any sport activity outside of school hours. Their parents do not have the resources or time to enlist them. In order to help students develop their gross motor skills we will run, kick, dribble, pass a soccer ball, and aim towards making goals. In addition they will also learn to catch and throw, swing and hit a softball. I hope to provide students the forum to express their abilities through physical education games.

By providing a storage cart, and diverse training equipment for soccer, foam balls students will learn the fundamentals of different sports like soccer, softball and basketball.

They will participate in a sport that will encourage teamwork, and good sportsmanship. I will be able to teach the fundamental skills of soccer, basketball and softball. This can lead some students in the path to play sports in middle school or they can be encouraged to take advantage of low income community sports opportunities.
