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

What I love about my students is how they are all accepting of each other. Despite all their differences, they all manage to get along and treat each other as equals. They are great at including everyone so that no one feels left out.

My Project

We teach weight training in our physical education classes and have limited equipment. This equipment will enable us to introduce our students to different styles of training so that they can find one that suits them. We will use the resistance bands, kettlebells, dumbbells, hex bars, and other fitness equipment to teach them how to train their bodies for sport and life. We focus on safety in the weight room and give them as much exposure to training modalities as possible, so that they will know how to continue training after our class ends.
