My Project

The specific snacks I’m requesting will make a meaningful difference in my students’ learning by providing both motivation and a sense of reward for their hard work. Many students thrive on positive reinforcement, and having a tangible reward like a snack can encourage them to stay engaged, complete assignments, and strive for academic success. Additionally, for some students, a small snack can help them focus better in class, especially if they didn’t have a full meal before coming to school.

My goal for this project is to create a classroom environment where students feel recognized and encouraged.

By offering snacks for good grades and staying motivated, I hope to reinforce positive study habits, increase participation, and help students build a stronger connection between effort and achievement. I want them to see that their dedication is valued and that every step they take toward success matters.

What makes my students special is their resilience and determination. Despite facing various challenges, they continue to show up, learn, and strive for their best. They are creative, hardworking, and eager to grow. Sometimes, all they need is a little extra encouragement to push through tough days, and something as simple as a snack can brighten their mood and keep them moving forward. This project is just one small way to show them that their efforts are noticed and appreciated.
