My Students

My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!

My Project

I am a teacher to the perfect combination of 28 diverse third grade students. Our school receives free lunch due to the socioeconomic makeup of our children. Unfortunately, due to the demographic makeup of our students, we have very little parent support towards classroom supplies which negatively affects our classroom support group not because they don’t want to but because they don’t have the resources or means to.

My students come from all walks of life and each is faced daily with adversity.

I’m am requesting snacks for my students during their snack time. What does this look like? Cereal, rice crispy treats, chips, etc.

In America, 1 in 6 children struggles with hunger, and there may be millions of kids across the country who are not getting the nourishment their bodies need.

We chatted with Christina Martinez, program manager of children and families at Feeding America, to better understand how hunger impacts kids and how the Feeding America network is helping children facing hunger.

Sadly, hunger may impact a child’s ability to perform well in school. Research demonstrates that children from families who are not sure where their next meal may come from are more likely to have lower math scores and repeat a grade, among other challenges.

Kids at risk of hunger may be less equipped to reach their full potential as they engage with the world around them. Studies show that children from homes that lack consistent access to food are more likely to experience developmental impairments in areas like language, motor skills, and behavior.

Children need nutrients so they can grow, develop and focus on learning instead of thinking about the food they need.
