A Great Day Starts With a Good Snack!

Help me give my students a chance for a great day of learning!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Collier's classroom raised $784

My Project

With this project, I hope to give my students a great start to their day of learning. I have included materials, as well as snacks, to keep them going throughout the day. When they have what they need it makes their day go smoother.

I requested headphones so that they can focus on their online lessons or listen to books without being distracted.

Snacks will help them focus because if you are hungry that is all your thinking of. These items will help support my students and make them happy.
