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 students are excited about learning and love being in upper elementary school!
The students that I work with have a desire to learn all that is possible but are often times consumed with many other thoughts and worries!
I want to make math and science more engaging, hands-on, and fun!
Our school is 100% free breakfast and lunch which lessens some of the stress and burdens that they carry with them to school each day. Our school is also heavily populated with ESL students. The materials I am requesting are perfect for curving their appetites between breakfast and lunch so that they can focus on learning instead of hunger.
My Project
Having snacks in the classroom will help to keep my students' energy up in the final months and weeks of school. As the days go by and the school year winds down, students become more and less enthused about school. Being able to provide snacks sporadically during the day and on random days will increase their excitement for continuing to come to class. I have learned through the years of teaching elementary students that food is a great motivator?
Between breakfast and lunch, students tend to become more and more focused on lunchtime instead of academics.
Snacks in the classroom will allow me as the teacher to continue to push them academically, without their focus shifting to lunch.
