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 classroom is filled with growing learners who are still getting used to being back in the classroom after a long summer break. This project will give my students quick and easy access to pre-packaged snacks, such as applesauce, pretzels, and gold fish crackers. These snacks will give their brains fuel and their bodies energy so that they can be productive learners in the classroom. Many of my students do not get the chance to breakfast in the morning before school and they are unable to get food from the school cafeteria until lunch time and by then they have already been at school for hours! Having an abundant supply of snacks in the classroom will help my students stay focused and nourished throughout the school day.
