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

Often students are not able to get to school early and eat the breakfast the school provides. They need breakfast or a snack to get through their day. Having cereal available as an option for my students would help ensure that my fourth graders are not preoccupied with hunger during lessons and are more attentive and ready to learn.

All kids need for a teacher and staff to show they care, and what better way to do that than to provide them with a small snack.

Our classroom is also in need of more cushions for flexible seating. We currently have four and I am not sure they will make it to next year. These cushions will help promote better focus, encourage collaboration, and alleviate the physical discomfort associated with prolonged periods of sitting.

By helping with this project you are providing a basic need that will be appreciated by each student!
