Help me give my students snacks, masks, printed assignments, and some fun sticker incentives! (Also known as: all the things they have been asking for and needing in the three weeks since school started!)

Celebrating 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 Students
My students come from different places, have different backgrounds, speak different languages, and have different needs and wants in a classroom. In my chemistry classroom, I strive for equity in all aspects of the classroom from assignments to seating to language. As a low-income, urban, high school--and in the building of the second oldest public high school in the United States--we often need additional material supports outside of what can be found within our walls presently.
What makes these students so amazing is their passion, their presence, and their consistency in looking for progress academically, socially, emotionally, as learners in an absolutely historic time to be a student.
This is my first year at my school, and I want to start off on a great note. I want my students to see, hear, and feel the positives from all of the work I have been trying to get prepared for these awesome learners. Technically, I am meant to teach chemistry. But, more than that, I am here to teach and learn alongside my students through this period of virtual and in-person learning as we strive for an engaging, actively anti-racist curriculum that is open, welcoming, and equitable.
My Project
This year began with a rocky start: I was diagnosed with COVID the first week of school and missed out on critical time building relationships. Luckily, my students have shown me grace as I have taken a little extra time to learn names and hang up decorations than their other teachers.
I want to show them just how much I care for them using similar techniques I did last year, hence my "restock!" I have seen my students come alive and awaken after a healthy snack, I have seen how a little positive motivation from something as small and fun as a sticker can make them feel pride in their assignments, and I know that when my door is propped open and I can provide masks, snacks, and supplies for my students, we are all better learners.
I want to continue to provide for my students in the ways that were successful last year.
Thank you for your help in donating to my classroom and to my students, the improvements that this restock will give my students is unparalleled!
