Ms. McKinney Lakeside School

Bakersfield, CA Grades 6-8

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 Project

These candies and meat sticks will make a world of difference in my classroom because my students really respond to candy for good behavior and they are in need of some of the snacks that they like. My students love to receive a candy when they are answering a question correctly in the classroom. My goals for this project is to get my students the items that will make the students want to raise their hand and answer their question and they know that they will receive a candy for answering the questions or doing a good deed. My students are really special, they are kind, they are wanting to learn and learn as much as they can.
