My Project

From doing my student teaching and also recently graduating, I understand if a child is hungry, he/she may not be able to focus on the lesson that is being taught at the time. Some of my students have to eat at school because food is scarce at home. Hence, I have always shared whatever food I have in my class with students.

If a child has a nice snack, he/she may be able to focus better in class and the students’ attention won't be focused on being hungry.

I believe in teaching the "whole child".
