My Project

I work with upwards of 50 students in 3rd and 4th grade that are part of my Basic Skills program. These students have reading levels that are two or more grade levels below their current grade.

Their brains are on overdrive every day, working even harder than their counterparts to catch up.

They are constantly tired and hungry because of this. I would love to provide them with these snacks as incentives to help them stay focused during our very important learning time together. Food always helps them to stay focused. Feed their stomachs and we'll successfully feed their brains with the necessary knowledge to help them succeed.
