My Project

My students are eager to learn and I am excited to welcome them to a new school year. They come from low socio-economic homes and these items will be helpful. Many students come to school hungry and without school supplies. I like having snacks in the classroom at all times in case they are hungry and need a snack to take home. Students learn better on a full stomach! I know that with the snacks and supplies, my students will look forward to coming to school every day and with a smile!
