My Project

My students are more open to learning when they are not hungry. My students often ask for food while in class because their stomachs are growling, so feeding my students has become my number one priority. Having snacks also helps building our school rule community. My students have a safe place. I have asked for four cases of boxed water as well as snacks that are in small packages like granola bars and crackers so students can eat quickly and still get work done.
