My Project

I am an Autism teacher and case manager for elementary students in a title one district and I absolutely love my job! One of the ways to make students comfortable and get to know them is by providing snacks in my classroom.

According to Maslow, we have physiological needs which are basic needs a human needs to survive one being food.

When students are hungry it can hinder learning. I want to be able to provide a snack for my students to keep hunger away and continue building strong relationships.
