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

As a teacher in a low-income/high-poverty school district, my students face several challenges both in and outside of the classroom. In addition to this, each of my students has a disability that sometimes hinders their performance and attitude when in the classroom. Nevertheless, they work hard to overcome all the obstacles that interfere with their learning.

Since my students live in a low socio-economic area they learn to live without supplies and healthy necessities that are needed for learning.

It's important for them to learn that hard work will lead them to success.

My Project

My students live in a low socio-economic area, they learn to live without supplies and healthy necessities that are needed for learning. They need breaks and snacks to refuel and stay focused during a long day of learning! It's important for them to learn that hard work will lead them to success.

These snacks will ensure that the students will gain the brainpower to be successful as they learn in the classroom.

Since the students come from low socioeconomic families, they need to be nourished in order for them to get through the day. Lunch is at 1:00 PM every day. Since school starts at 8:30 AM, my students go about five hours without eating. During these five hours, they get restless and are focused on when their next meal will be not on learning. A small snack of brain food can do wonders for their learning.
