My Project

Help me give my students snacks to power through the day. Snacks through the day would help my students significantly. As an adult, I can sympathize with being unable to attain to a task when hungry, but can only imagine and recall that pain from being in elementary school.

Sometimes, when I ask my students why they have their head down or are off task, they explain it is because they are hungry and waiting for lunch time.

A hungry belly cannot support a learning environment by keeping a young mind alert. To ensure that instructional time is not lost we will try to have a very quick snack time at certain time intervals in class. Nonetheless, snacks can be used as a positive-behavior incentive for students.

My students and I thank you in advance for donating to this project!
