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

Working with middle schoolers (who are experiencing changes in growth), the amount of times a teacher is asked if they have any snacks cannot be fathomed! I often have students stop and ask me numerous times throughout the day. Whether it be a forgotten lunch, or just something to munch on between classes, a small snack or drink could be a big help.

Providing snacks to students helps them re-energize and refocus in just moments.

I also love providing rewards/incentives while we complete review games, so this would be such a huge help! Those small prizes make them so happy and make even the slightest difference.
