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

Providing snacks to students during testing can have a significant impact on their cognitive performance. When students are hungry, their ability to concentrate and focus diminishes, which can negatively affect test outcomes. Healthy snacks like fruit gummies, beef jerky, and whole grains can provide the necessary energy boost, helping to sustain attention and improve memory retention. By offering a variety of healthy snacks, I will not only support my students' immediate testing performance but also promote long-term healthy eating habits. This simple yet effective strategy can contribute to a more equitable testing environment, where all my students taking the test will have the opportunity to perform at their best. Encouraging snack breaks also allows students a moment to relax and recharge, which can alleviate some of the stress associated with testing.
