It's Snack-Tastic!

Help me give my students free, available snack options for the classroom! Having an empty stomach doesn't feel good, and I'm hoping with this project students could have a quick grab-and-go option to encourage learning!

My Project

Hunger is one of the greatest inhibitors to learning, and in my classroom I've noticed my growing 6th graders are constantly complaining of empty stomachs. Though they may grab the free breakfast and lunch options, for some students that food isn't enough to sustain them through the day. For others, they get to school late when meal time is over, don't have snacks from home, and have to wait hours until their next meal.

The goal of this project is to have a snack corner where students can grab an item any time they want, without question, when they're hungry.
