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 Students
I teach at a Title I school where the majority of our students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch and go home to non-English speaking families. Some of our students are the only English speaking people in their families.
Our school has students who are homeless.
We have many students who live at the shelter for abused and battered women and children. Many other students are living with two or three families in small apartments because they are homeless.
I make it my goal every year to supply my students with the supplies they need and hands-on experiences that they wouldn't get elsewhere. It’s very easy to tie a project or activity into the standards the kids are supposed to be learning. By getting our hands on what we’re learning, we learn even more. I love it when my students finish an activity and say what a great time they had and how much they learned. Our students are very bright and deserve every opportunity they get.
My Project
As we enter quarter four of the school year, our snacks are running low. My students rely on the free breakfast and lunch at school and sometimes will get hungry as we work our way through the day. It is so nice to have small, healthy snacks available to students when they tell me they're hungry. These fruit snacks, rice crispy treats, SunChips, and popcorn snacks will help my students by keeping their bellies full and their minds focused. Their stamina will be increased, and it will greatly help them be able to work their hardest all day long.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
