My Project

By providing the students snacks before class, we are able to make a difference in their attention for learning. It is a proven fact that if a student is hungry they will not be able to function. They will not be able to grasp the instruction and able to work in class. By providing a snack before class my idea is that the student will be able to apply their attention on instruction and not their hunger pain. My goal is to stop the students attention on hunger pain and increase their attention on learning and instruction. Each of my student are special and deserves the best education they can get. I am focusing on providing that by food and snacks to those who are in need of extra food and snacks.
