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

I teach special education US History for my incredibly diverse population of students. This group of young people work incredibly hard despite their challenges. Their eyes light up when they figure something out and they are excited when they learn new things.

Most of my students are on free lunch, meaning they live at or below poverty level; many have parents who speak a foreign language at home and are first generation citizens.

Because of their diversity, it is important that we work together to create a cohesive classroom.

I teach at the largest high school in my state. With over 3500 students, we are across 2 campuses and have the opportunity to give the students a wide variety of electives and sports opportunities.

I am also an assistant wrestling coach. We have varsity and junior varsity level wrestlers. Our team is as diverse as our school population.

My Project

Members of the wrestling team need to attend strength and conditioning training throughout the entire year. They need to be fast, agile, and strong. In order to achieve their personal goals, the team needs to work hard on building up their muscles and strength.

The jump ropes will be used during our cardio workouts and throughout the season; the training rope is a heavy weighted rope that can be used individually or as a team.

The team can carry the rope as they run or they can have the rope on the ground and do arm/upper body activities.

Thank you for supporting our wrestling team.
