My Students
I am a teacher of students with special needs in a blended classroom. I teach in a low-income/high poverty school. Most of my students receive free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom.
My students have various special needs, ranging from moderate to severe intellectual disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, and medical needs that make learning challenging on many levels.
Despite the many challenges they face, I strive to create a stimulating and meaningful educational environment where my students are encouraged to reach their full potential.
My Project
Students need snacks to remain focused in class. Snacks like these will ensure students will be successful in the classroom because they will have brain food. We eat lunch very early in the morning, and it is hours before the students go home to get food.
This project will provide my students with prepackaged snacks that they can eat, giving their brains fuel and their bodies the energy to be productive students.
I am unable to share snacks from a big box, therefore I need individually wrapped snacks. My students are forever asking for food throughout the school day. Because they ask for snacks quite often, I try to have a cabinet with snacks they can choose from. These snacks also offer students a variety of snacks that will give them a bigger boost during our work day.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
