My Project
My students are a diverse group of kids from Michigan, mostly growing up in low-income families. My students are finally coming back into the school building after a year and a half of remote learning. Many of the students need extra love, care, and support at school. My students are creative, thoughtful innovative, and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!
Your donation of healthy snacks will help students stay energized throughout their day as I can have classroom snacks available when they get hungry.
My goal for this project is to create an environment that is warm, safe, and welcoming while maintaining a fun, creative learning atmosphere for my students. This school year one of our goals is to increase attendance. One way is by providing snacks for students who are hungry. This will help my students maintain their energy levels and provide them with important nutrients to support their growth, development, and learning.
Motivation is the engine that drives student engagement and learning. Before my students devour all these snacks, they will use them for fun math activities. Using snacks in a learning environment makes students cooperate so much better when they know their cooperation equals snacks.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
