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

Our school has students who are eager to play sports. They come from a community with not many resources for physical activity. We have students from low-income households, students with special education services and English Language Learners.

In being the PE teacher I would love to build a sports program to have student athletes.

I I would will love to give back to the kids and encourage a team sports program!

My Project

In make a sports club before or after school. student will need the equipment to learn the skills. The school day starts a little later then usually and many of my students get here early, coaching a team before school will keep my students motivated to get to school.

My student love sports but do not have the resources in the community to explore those skills.

We have a indoor track and we love to have a track team and use the batons. Having a sports club for student to explore different team sports like flag football, batminton and track.
