My Project

It is a long day for my 5- and 6-year-olds to have to be at school learning. We have the earliest lunch, making for a very long afternoon of hungry bellies. These snacks will help provide a full stomach which will help my students' bodies and minds to stay engaged and focused for our full day of learning.

Within the next few months we have a lot of end of the year testing coming up, and I want my students to be fed and focused on their assessments to show what they have learned over this year!

These snacks will do just the job! While we are working throughout the day, I will provide students with a snack to keep them focused and engaged with learning.

The snacks range from chips to popcorn, to Pringles, and their favorite hot chips, which are all kid-friendly favorites.

I will use these to fuel their brains before showing what they have learned throughout the year. Individual snack packs will make passing out snacks easy, they will take their choice, and walk back to their individual desk to eat. It will make for an easy transition throughout our long day in person.
