My Project

My students struggle with being hungry and focusing on school. They miss valuable learning time when they can't pay attention in class. This project will allow me to provide the students with snacks and that they will be able to have while they are at home at night and on the weekend and in the classroom. I will also be able to provide these so it will help them calm down and concentrate. I will be able to have snacks for each of my students. This will allow my students to focus on learning instead of being hungry.
