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 work in a Title I elementary school in a NYC borough. My Kindergarten students are eager and ready to learn despite the hardships they face, such as learning disabilities, learning English as a second language, poverty, and coming from an immigrant population. They are full of questions and at times shy, but they love coming to school and learning something new everyday. Many of the parents have a limited education and are unable to provide academic support. That is why a positive and enriching school experience and the proper tools are so important. I want them to have the chances and opportunities that are not offered in many parts of the world, a chance to rise above their circumstances.
My Project
Many of my students do not bring snacks to school because their families are unable to afford it. They enjoy when I share my healthy snacks with them. Please help keep our snack closet full. We talk every day during snack time about the importance of making good eating choices and eating foods that are good for our bodies, our brain and our teeth. These lessons about healthy eating and healthy habits will stay with them for a lifetime. They are allowed to choose their snack and this also helps them in the decision making skills. My kindergartners love their snacks! Thank you for supporting this project.
