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

Snacks can play a significant role in students' learning and overall well-being. Here are some ways in which the snacks you're requesting can make a difference:

Improved Focus and Attention:

Energy Boost: Healthy snacks provide a source of energy that can help students stay focused and attentive during classes. Foods with complex carbohydrates and proteins can offer sustained energy levels.

Brain Function: Certain nutrients found in snacks, such as omega-3 fatty acids (found in nuts and seeds) and antioxidants (found in fruits and vegetables), can support brain health and cognitive function.

Better Mood and Behavior:

Stabilized Blood Sugar: Snacks that contain a balance of protein, healthy fats, and fiber can help stabilize blood sugar levels. This can prevent the energy crashes that lead to irritability and mood swings.

Reduced Stress: Eating nutritious snacks can have a positive impact on stress levels. Foods rich in magnesium (like nuts and dark chocolate) can help reduce feelings of anxiety.

Reducing Stigma: Providing snacks for all students can help reduce any stigma associated with needing or receiving food assistance.

Social Benefits:

Promoting Socialization: Snack times can be opportunities for socializing and building relationships among students.

By providing nutritious and varied snacks, you are not only addressing immediate hunger but also supporting students' physical health, mental well-being, and their ability to learn and thrive in the classroom.

The wireless charger would help reduce distraction on phone during lecture. It could also minimize students asking chargers to each other during class.

The SD card is for a classroom tablet which is used for downloading and storing learning resources. This will allow the teacher to seamlessly access study materials especially when working with ELL and ESS students.
