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
This year, my students are taking the MCAS test for the first or second time! They have worked really hard to prepare and get to this point. My coworkers and I believe they deserve an extra special treat to help motivate them.
The calming strips will help ease their anxieties and worries as they prepare for the test.
The different textures allow students to find the best one for their needs.
The mints will also help them focus. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), "evidence suggests that peppermint aroma can improve learning and memory impairments." Giving the students mints could give them extra motivation to focus and a tasty treat to help push them along during the test.
These materials will help ease my students into this new journey. This is the first of many years they will need to take MCAS. Help give them the courage and support to power through.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
