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

My class has requested a hot chocolate station as a reward for their excellent behavior in school! Please help me provide this dream of theirs come to life!

Did you know that Hot Cocoa is also nutritious?!

According to the USDA, cocoa powder is a good source of fiber,iron, aids in memory and MAKES YOU HAPPY! Hot cocoa is rich in flavonoids, which improve blood flow. Improved blood flow reduces the chance of blood clots, lowers blood pressure, improves heart health and helps you think better thanks to better blood flow to the brain. Some things I will add to my hot chocolate station are: marshmallows, sprinkles, caramel drizzle and gummy bears!
