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 kindergartners are curious, talkative, full of questions, and always hungry!

I want to provide snacks for them!

I have told parents that their child can bring snacks but many can’t provide it. So, I want to provide organic and healthier snacks for my kindergartners! I know they are hungry when they come back from PE ,and I want to have a snack for everyone! I want to expose them to healthier choices too and educate them about the food that they are eating! I don’t want hunger to get in our way of learning new concepts and skills!
