My Project

Within this project, my students will have the chance to be comfortable in class while they get ready for growth assessments, being more responsible while in the classroom with cleaning and by having materials in class for the bathroom. By having water, juice and a variety of snacks, my students are able to prepare and take these assessments without the nagging empty stomach that takes away the concentration they need on a daily. My students deserve to not be hungry at school and they should be able to have a comfort in knowing that they will be taken care of while they are at school.
