My Project

My students will have a better and positive experience in my classroom if they are working on full stomachs. Often times my students ask for a snack and we don't have much to provide. They look to us for help and give them nutrition as our school is their safe place. A lot of my students do not have the means to bring anything extra to school. I would love to make my classroom an even better environment for them and have back up snacks to provide so that they can be more comfortable. The storage bins would also be a huge help to keep things clean and organized. i am working to teach them about clean and organized environments help set us up for success.
