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

The mix of snacks and fidgets in my project is meant to help students at our Title 1 school stay focused and feel supported. The snacks will keep them energized, while fidget toys can help them manage stress and stay engaged.

Research shows that proper nutrition is closely linked to learning and focus, so having these snacks available can make a big difference in how well students can concentrate and absorb information.

My goal is to create a fun and supportive classroom environment. Despite facing some tough challenges, these students are amazing and have so much potential. Fidgets will also help keep the kids focused and busybodies in their seats. By providing these items, I hope to make their school days a little brighter and help them succeed both in and out of the classroom!
