This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My students enjoy school-sponsored breakfasts to start their day. I want to support them by providing mid-day snacks with in an effort to prevent them from getting sluggish during the school day. This project can give me an opportunity to contribute to my student’s emotional and physical well-being, as well as increase their academic achievement.
My Project
Some students get sluggish if they don't get a chance to eat something in the latter part of the school day. In order to prevent my students from getting sluggish I want to provide them with a snack. Kids need a wide range of nutrients to help them grow and develop normally. A snack in the mid-morning can help counteract this by giving his brain and body a boost so he can sit still and concentrate until he can refuel with his lunch meal. A snack in the mid-afternoon provides the same benefits until the final bell rings and your child has to slog through his homework.
