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 have a fantastic group of fourth graders, who are always eager to learn new and exciting things. They are consistently in school and on time. They are a group of very energetic students.

Though on a daily basis, we have breakfast in the classroom, sometimes that is not enough to fuel them for the rest of the day.

I am requesting snacks, such as granola bars, fruit snacks, cookies, popcorn and pretzels to offer to my students throughout the day. Since they are constantly learning and setting forth their best effort, they need brain fuel and lunch does not seem to arrive early enough for most of them.

By providing snacks for my students, I believe that they will be able to focus more on the subject rather than them worry about, "what time is lunch?"
