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

This being my fourth year working in education, I have noticed that many students do not bring lunch or eat breakfast, and sometimes school time is when they have their main meal. Having a variety of snacks available will enable students to remain focused and able to participate in everyday lessons. Fidget toys and games are also fundamental to students. Games are a good incentive and fidget toys really help in stressful situations for certain individuals.

I mainly work in ISS, and I have witnessed many students who struggle from anxiety, depression, and being overall anxious.

Having fidget toys can help with anger, anxiety, and panic. I would like to create an environment where the students have access to these toys and snacks on a daily basis. Keeping snack options in the room can be crucial to an individual’s success since there can be situations where someone is having their only meal during school time. When a student is lacking a meal, it really can affect their performance in the classroom.

Disinfecting wipes are also extremely crucial to the class flowing properly. Other than academic work, I want students to be able to develop life skills. Some of these life skills including cleaning, being organized, and maintaining a clean space in the classroom. My idea is to make everyone in the classroom feel they are in a safe space with everything they need- snacks, cleaning supplies, fidget toys, and games. DonorsChoose is truly helping teachers, guidance counselors, etc. be able to really allow students to succeed. All of

these supplies are necessary for success, especially related to mental health issues.
