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

Last month, I brought my students to Manhattan for a field trip. The school graciously prepared a bag lunch for each student. At lunchtime, some students declined the bag lunch, so I kept all the extras and brought them back to my room after the trip.

The next day I laid out all the extra food (the non-perishable items) on my desk and offered them to my students.

I was so surprised at how many students grabbed 1-2 items and gave a sigh of relief because they were so hungry. Even though the school offers free breakfast and lunch to everyone, these growing adolescents were still hungry at 9am, 10 am, and 11am.

The snack items I've requested in this project will be shared with all of my students. They will be given anything that they want to take home, and I will keep some in my room for when they are hungry. They will be allowed to eat them during our class because I know it will help them be more focused and engaged.

Thank you for considering this project.

Grades 6-8
