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

I love my students for their resilience and creativity; they take on all the work with enthusiasm and support each other in their productive struggles. By providing resources like snacks, we can help them focus and stay engaged in class instead of worrying about hunger.

The goal of providing snacks during class time is to ensure that students have the energy and focus they need to engage fully in their learning.

By targeting hunger, we help minimize distractions, improve concentration, and create a more positive classroom environment.

What makes my students special is their diverse backgrounds and unique experiences; they bring so much richness to our classroom. By investing in their education, we’re helping them create a more positive community and a better environment for learning.
