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 are in need of some necessities to help them try to focus. I would like to provide some options for my students to help with academics supplies, snacks, sports equipment, clothing, and fidgets.

These items will be beneficial to academic, mental & physical health as well as meet students basic needs.

Backpacks and other school supplies will help students fit in and have needs meet to succeed academically, snacks will help meeting students basic hunger needs, Basket balls and other sports equipment will allow students chance to be physical and exercise, mittens and hats will help students to stay warm, and fidgets can help students stay focused and cope with anxiety.
