My Project

Many of my students ask to leave class for a snack. However we've been stuck inside due to wildfire smoke. If I can have snacks available in my classroom students can focus on learning instead of their empty bellies. Water quality has been questionable in Los Angeles so bottled water is key at the moment.

There's a mix of healthy and comfort snacks to provide physical as well as emotional support.

My old comfy chair broke so I need a new chair for my calming corner where students can enjoy their snacks.

I also added notebooks as students struggle to keep loose leaf papers organized.
