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 students need healthy snacks to remain focused and energized in class. Healthy snacks, like these snacks, will ensure students will be successful in the classroom because they will have brain food. I have an amazing third grade class. They work hard all day and then stay for after school. Many are working below grade level. They choose to stay after school to become better readers and mathematicians.

We need snacks, many of them have low energy and are tired by the end of the day.They don't complain!

They continue to work hard. I am requesting a variety of health snacks. I would love for them to have the fuel they need to help them reach their third-grade goals.
