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

My students have a busy day! They change classes every 42 minutes and are constantly on the move, traveling all over the building. With each new period, students need to refocus themselves and get settled in.

Having snacks in the classroom will help students stay focused and create a positive learning environment.

In addition to a wide variety of snacks, beverages will also be available to help students stay focused. Sometimes students just need a quick sip to help them! By having snacks and beverages in the classroom for students to utilize, a positive classroom culture is being created! The classroom becomes a calm place to work!
