Yummy Snacks!

Help me give my students snacks throughout the day to sustain their learning.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Help me give my students snacks! They are provided breakfast and lunch throughout our school day, but we have a long break in between both meals. I want to give them something that will sustain them until lunchtime and until the end of our school day.

Not only do I want my students to do their best in our classroom, but I also want them to recognize that their bodies and its needs are just as important as the work that they are doing.

It is difficult for my students to do their best work when they are focused on their needs not being met.

With these snacks, my students can focus on their academic learning instead of their hunger so they can truly focus and be their best selves in our classroom!
