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

State testing is always a stressful time in the year and can be extremely daunting for our students. The pressure to perform well increases anxiety and having to stay seated for hours can be a challenge for most.

In hopes of easing some of their anxieties, we feel it is important to give our students a short brain break and time to enjoy a snack.

It is difficult to focus on your exams when your mind is focusing on the hunger you feel. By providing our students with a brain break and small snack, we know this will improve our students’ ability to pay attention and effectively complete their state exams.
