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 Students

As a teacher in an inner-city public school, I've learned so much from my students' resilience. They inspire me to be the best teacher that I can be every day. I teach in the heart of the Bronx. My school is a Title I school. This means that my students are at risk of failure and live at or near poverty. Although​ they face hardships and cope with a variety of circumstances at home, they walk into my classroom with ​incredible enthusiasm and a desire to learn.

I teach 30 bright and enthusiastic children that deserve to have a fair and equal opportunity to obtain a high-quality education.

My Project

We all know how hard it is to concentrate on school work when we are hungry and our stomachs are growling. When students are hungry they tend to be easily distracted and lose focus. Having granola bars, veggie straws and animal crackers available for them in the classroom will help to keep them more alert. These snacks will give my third grade students the energy boost needed to sustain high levels of productivity throughout the day. And the cleaning supplies will keep our classroom fresh and clean.

Help my third graders grow and stretch their brains by providing healthier snacks options to keep them energized, engaged and motivated for a long day of learning!
