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 Project

My students come to school ready to learn on a daily basis! They are eager to learn new and exciting topics whenever possible. My fantastic fourth graders have been working very hard this entire year. They have come a long way this academic year and made some tremendous progress. I have been so please with their academic growth. The State tests are coming up very soon! Along with these tests, comes a lot of stress for my students.

By providing my students with options for snacks from chips to candy to kind bars during the test, I am sure they will achieve great lenghts.

You see, many students have specific needs, and some just need certain comforts. One of the comforts may be something as basic as a snack. They do not have options of what is on their tests, but they will feel optimistic if they begin their test with a snack option.
