Fueling Our Bodies and Our MINDS

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 Students

I have been given the opportunity to teach the best group of little people imaginable. I looped with them from first to second and am excited to look up with them to third grade this year!

These little people are absolutely amazing.

They face many challenges and hardships that would defeat any average person. They all receive free lunch, English is a second language for the majority of my class, and many are facing extraordinary challenges at home. My students are not average, however. They are extraordinary!

Despite the many challenges they face, they come to school ready and excited to learn! They come with open minds and open hearts and are the most remarkable and kindhearted people I have had the pleasure to know. This is shown day after day as they request extra time to work in place of recess, show excitement over every lesson or activity I plan, persevere to complete accurate work no matter how long it takes, extend a helping hand to classmates when they need it, and share anything and everything if it is helpful to do so.

My Project

My students are amazing, they come to school every day ready to grow and learn. Unfortunately, there are some who do not have the nutrition they need to get the day started. Several do not have access to healthy meals and snacks and that can impede learning.

A variety of healthy snacks will help all of my students get the proper nourishment so that they can learn.

These snacks include breakfast bars for students who missed breakfast as well as high protein snack bars and other healthy options that they can eat when their tummy is growling or when they need to take home something healthy to eat after school. This will help them complete their homework with a full belly and be able to learn and grow.

Thank you so much for your consideration with this project!
