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

Every day my students face a multitude of obstacles. They do their best to stay engaged and work hard throughout the entire day, however, with long periods and late lunchtime, this can become difficult. For many of my students, school is the place they receive the majority of their meals. If they came late and missed breakfast, the late lunch period can seem daunting. With five hours between breakfast and lunch, it can be challenging for teenagers to focus on their learning. These snacks are crucial in helping students stay focused and engaged in class. I am requesting snacks for my students which will help create an environment where they can trust teachers, know they have a safe space, and makes the classroom seem more like home.

All students deserve to feel comfortable and focused during class!

This is why we are requesting snacks to keep in the classroom! It a way to show them that I care about them not just as a student but as an individual beyond these walls. Being able to provide snacks has been a staple in my classroom and has helped me create windows of opportunities to begin talking more with students and having more meaningful conversations, ones that lead to them becoming more invested in my classroom and in school entirely. I have noticed that by having snacks, students come to class more! The healthy snacks will be given to students throughout the day and during after-school activities to keep them going!
