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

I have the honor of teaching students in a Title I environment. My students work in class blocks that are between 80-100 minutes long. We have packed curriculums, and oftentimes, students need a place to step away from their desks to refresh their bodies, fill their stomachs, or relax their minds.

Refocus breaks are used in my class as a time and space to recharge so that students can return to instruction with clear heads.

By having a student refresh center, I can provide simple comforts to my students, including hair ties, feminine products, small snacks, and basic hygiene products so my students can refresh and regain their focus.

Many of my students struggle to get food and snacks outside of school and come to me daily asking for something to eat because they are hungry. Having nutrient-rich snacks and drinks, like cool bottled water and Gatorade, throughout the day limits their hunger to help them stay on track.

I am excited about all of the learning that will take place in my class when my students can focus on their curriculum, knowing that their hunger needs and stress needs are fulfilled.
