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
We are seeking your help to acquire blenders, air fryers, a slushie machine, mini ovens, and ice cream makers that will enhance our students' understanding of nutrition, creativity, and teamwork.
This project is aimed at promoting healthy eating habits and spreading random acts of kindness throughout the school.
Our school community will see how food is grown with our recently purchased hydroponics tower garden and then transferred onto their plate where they get to eat and drink their creations. They can make different types of smoothies with the blenders after they plant and harvest leafy greens. The ice cream makers will be used to teach our students why you can eat ice cream in moderation daily, because it is a great source of vitamins. Students will also have the opportunity to watch how a liquid changes into a solid. We will keep the ice cream cold in the freezer. Students will be making smoothies and ice cream for our school community.
Through baking, our students not only learn valuable culinary skills but also practice math (measuring ingredients), science (understanding how ingredients interact), literacy (reading recipes), and teamwork. It’s a hands-on way for them to build confidence, improve fine motor skills, and develop communication skills. Activities about compassion can help cultivate an emotionally safe environment and ease the way students are feeling. It also teaches valuable lessons about empathy, generosity, and helping others.
“How do we change the world? One random act of kindness at a time”-Morgan Freeman.
