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
I am truly inspired by the resilience and eagerness to learn that my students demonstrate, despite the many challenges they face. They come from diverse backgrounds and are navigating difficult circumstances, yet they bring an abundance of enthusiasm and curiosity to the classroom every day. Their perseverance is truly admirable, and I feel privileged to be a part of their educational journey.
The availability of snacks in the classroom is incredibly helpful, as it provides the students with the energy they need to focus and engage in lessons.
Many of them may not have regular access to nutritious meals, so having snacks ensures they don't have to worry about being hungry while they're learning. It's amazing to witness how something as simple as a snack can help them concentrate better, stay motivated, and derive even more enjoyment from their time in school.
