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 work very hard all day long and class periods are also very long. They try their best and work to the best of their abilities. Many students like to have a candy treat or snack, to motivate them as they are working. Chewing on snacks also helps stimulate thinking and some kids feel like when they are dancing it helps them concentrate. A snack in between the day will give them something to enjoy before lunch and also keep their minds focused on the rest of the day. Snacks are a good way to keep them focused and not thinking about being hungry.
