  • Snacks for Little Learners

    Funded May 10, 2023

    My students were so excited to receive their snacks! It was all they could talk about. Many of my students said the same thing, "No one had ever given them a gift like this before." They truly appreciate your support.

    My students eat the snacks on a daily basis in the classroom. Since receiving them my students have become more verbal about expressing their needs and wants. When they become hungry they will ask for a snack or if at snack time we give them something they do not like they express they do not like it and would like a different one. By having these items in the classroom, my students are becoming more verbal.

    My students are motivated to come to school because they know they will have a snack during the day. Finally, they enjoy being able to pick the snack they would like for the day.

    Thank you again for supporting our classroom. We appreciate it!”

My class is a class of 10 kindergartners with unique personalities and varying academic levels. Some students are learning disabled, autistic, OHI or speech and language impaired. My students are part of a larger school community of about 400 students. Compared to other New York City Schools we are much smaller. While our small size has a lot of pros there are also many cons; one being the lack of space that our school has along with a smaller budget. While we try to use our budget wisely providing a great deal of resources for our students, we often do not have many of the things that we need to help all our students be successful.
