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

Help me encourage students to be engaged in class. My students are incarcerated and therefore food tends to be a good incentive for them. I am able to bond with them through snacks. Somehow snacks also build a positive environment since fed students tend to work better. My students help me choose the snacks on this project. They are excited and hope for someone to fund our project. My students are great they need second chances and lots of support. The number of students I have vary therefore the more incentives available the more I am able to feed both classes I teach at the same time.
