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

Believe it or not, students get hungry throughout the day, especially if they don't have enough food provided at home. The snacks would be helpful for this reason.

If I'm able to give snacks to my students during class, they will be alert and they can do their best on their assigned work and activities.

Unfortunately, many students have little or no snacks available. I want to be able to supply students with some snacks that can satisfy their hunger. The children will enjoy eating snacks during their recess breaks and in between the loads of school work.

Having the disinfecting wipes and sanitizer sprays will keep their areas nice and clean. The pocket chart game will be a great addition to the classroom that will provide opportunities to enhance their learning.

The sweet treat and pocket tissue packs will be sent with them when they go home. Not only will the snacks satisfy their tummy, but also their heart, which will put a huge smile on their face.
