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

Helping feed my students with the variety of snacks will help my students stay focus and continue learning. During this age range many students get hungry during class time and are distracted. Instead of them going to get a snack from the office, they can get a snack from the class. This will prevent a loss of time and education. Furthermore, students will be able to engage in the lessons, and stay focused during crucial learning times.

Our main goal is to provide accessible snacks to help them stay focus, engaged, and ready to learn.

In addition, students will reduce hunger related distractions and will be able to better concentrate. I want my students to be able to succeed and be able to grab snacks as they need. Also, making sure they know that they can just grab it.

My students are special and unique because they are full of potential, are always trying, and willing to learn. At this age range they face different challenges but having snacks to eat throughout the day should not be one of them. Students who are worrying about their hunger will be able to flourish and focus on their learning.
