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 class is full of talented students who love to learn with hands on projects. We, as creative and passionate staff meet him/her at his/her level of creativity, skills, and academic levels especially in a STEAM curriculum. Our students can be very energetic and at times are dealing with anger management or behavior challenges which require our staff to teach in out-of-the box mentalities.

In our community of high energy, vibrant, and creative learners, we strive to have our students learn in multiple modalities such as using technology, song and dance, poems, and the arts .

We are such an enthusiastic and energetic class consisting of 35 students who are ready to show their passions everyday. We will be engaging in our yearbook activities and arranging our phenomenal photographs to show our school pride.

Of those 35 kids, about 10 are receiving special services to meet their academic needs. Some of the other students need to show what they know by pictures. With our environment today and the ever-changing pace in our advanced technological society, our children need a safe place to learn, move, and have options to learn life skills.

My Project

Kids are wanting to get out, play with their friends, and finally have recess! However, during these unpredictable times, kids have to stay home as they are getting their wiggles out, in hopefully productive ways. When kids are active, they're releasing endorphins that make them happy and also physically fit.

Heavy balls can be used for exercise in numerous ways, to stay not only physically but mentally active, as well; it can increase social-emotional skills and can be engaged in recess and PE activities that can be implemented at home.

Coaches and teachers can teach kids how to use it via Zoom classes multiple times a day.
