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 6th grade students are very active and by the end of the day especially after P.E. students frequently ask for snacks. Students have shared their love for ramen and what a perfect idea to celebrate the Chinese New Year with their peers by eating Ramen. Students will choose their desired ramen. Also, students will learn to use the cute chopsticks and chopsticks trainers to eat ramen. For dessert, students can eat the Pocky they can take it home to share with their siblings. This will provide an opportunity to build stronger relationships among classmates and new experiences as they try new things.

Thank you for visiting our project today and I truly appreciate your help in making our 6th grade students feel special.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
