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

My students are fun, inquisitive, and full of energy! My students love to challenge themselves and each other to try new things, to think, and to grow. I teach Physical Education with a focus on helping my students to develop a love of physical activity that will last their lifetimes. My students love to move, to work towards personal goals, and to collaborate with their classmates to elevate and encourage everyone to work towards their own personal best.

This year my students have demonstrated their flexibility and their commitment to learning at every opportunity.

While PE has looked a lot different this year, being taught in a classroom in small group or remotely, with limited space and access to equipment, my students continue to commit to moving their bodies safely and well, to learning new skills, and to having fun.

My Project

Earlier this year my students tried speed stacking using plastic cups from a big box store and I was blown away by how quickly my students embraced the activity; they enjoyed learning different stacking patterns and creating their own, challenging themselves to improve their stacking times, challenging each other to stacking races, and finding other ways to use the cups (i.e. to see who could build the tallest free-standing cup tower in the class). While a relatively new addition to the canon of Physical Education activities, speed stacking helps students to develop hand-eye coordination and bilateral coordination (using both sides of their bodies at the same time with control and coordination). It also encourages sportsmanship and teamwork, as students can practice their stacking skills and compete in different challenges on their own but also as part of a team. Speed stacking also helps students develop focus and concentration, and, finally, is just a lot of fun!

For this project I would like to give my students access to the official Speed Stacks Sport Stacking Program to allow them to continue to develop their skills with the best equipment possible, including the sturdy cups that don't stick together and the official timing mats.

By having a full set I also plan to set up a loaning library so students can take cups and mats home to practice on their own and to demonstrate their skills to their families. While the plan is to initially use the cups primarily in PE classes, in time I hope to develop a cup stacking culture in the school where students will be encouraged to continue to grow their skills and potentially compete, locally and beyond, if they so desire.
