Nutrition is important in stabilizing moods and increasing a sense of well being. Providing snacks for my students will make a huge different in their learning and improve their school lives. Many of my students do not have opportunities for frequent snacks or meals while at home. It is important to offer nutritious snacks while at school. Students are motivated to earn snacks, as well as eat snacks to maintain their moods. My students have a long bus ride back to their home. When they have a snack to eat on the bus, they are able to balance their mood and stay distracted during the long drive home. Having a successful bus ride to and from school is important in creating a positive image associated with school. By providing snacks to my students, they are able to better manage and control their social/emotional and behavioral problems. I encourage proper nutrition and positive snack choices in order to promote healthy habits for their future.
