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

As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. My students face another daily challenge which is they are in my Special Education classroom.

Some may say that these students have the odds stacked against them, but they still manage to come to school every day with a smile.

They are able to come to school with a smile because I provide a rigorous, yet simple day where they can come to learn AND have fun. They love to move, dance, and be active.

My Project

While P.E is important to all children, research has found that physical education is especially key in lower-income communities. Our students that we have in front of us have two uphill battles - being in special education and low income.

Unfortunately, in our school, our special education self contained classrooms do not have the opportunity to have P.E in the gymnasium setting.

I provide a space for the students to have physical education in our auditorium. Although it isn't a gymnasium, we do our best to give these students a chance to move around and play games.

With your donations for scooter boards, horseshoes, batting tee, hoops and basketballs, and other games and resources, it will give our students the chance to participate in team building and physical activities. Improving the quality and time dedicated to physical education class is key in bridging the gap between less advantaged students and the happy, healthy, and academically successful students.
