My Project

As the Snickers® advertisements say… you’re not you when you’re hungry. I’ll be the first to admit to that. When I’m hungry, I get tired, impatient, and my brain has a hard time staying focused. So do my students!

Lack of nutrients can lead to reduced focus and brain function.

The more essential nutrients you have in you, the more energy you will have for brain function. If your brain isn't getting enough blood flow to it, it will have to work harder, and it will also work slower.

Fortunately, there is something we can do about it. Eat! That's why I am asking for cookies, chips, and sweet candies for my students.

Ms. Menzies PS 123 Grades 3-5
