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

The items I'm requesting, water and snacks, play a crucial role in enhancing my high school math students' learning experience. When students feel sleepy or fatigued during class, offering them water and a small snack helps rejuvenate their energy levels and refocus their attention on the lesson. By providing these refreshments, I aim to create a more supportive and conducive learning environment where students feel cared for and motivated to actively participate in their learning. My ultimate goal for this project is to ensure that every student has the opportunity to fully engage with the material and achieve their academic potential. My students are special because they bring diverse perspectives and unique strengths to the classroom, and it is my privilege to support and empower them in their educational journey.
