My Students
My students are back in person and love coming to school each day. Located in Washington, DC they are able to see so much of the city as they commute to school on the school bus. Unlike many of the students who attend our school, my students have been in the classroom with me for nearly three years, looping every year. It's been an great experience watching them grow academically and socially.
My students are eating lunch at a later time this year, and they are feeling the results in a major way!
To my advantage, they have improved with being able to tell time, as they countdown the hours and minutes until lunch each day. But the downside is that every now and then, they get a bit hungry and sometimes their learning is impacted.
My Project
We're starting with the first meal of the day and that's breakfast. My students are a fan of dry cereal and the Kellogg's assorted cereal box will give them what they need. Whether they are supplementing the school's breakfast or are in need of breakfast upon late arrival, their needs will be met! Aside from the water dispensers at school, I'd like to also provide them with Capri Sun juice boxes to attempt to balance out their first meal of the day. For my students who love breakfast bars, we have them covered with assorted flavored Nutri-Grain bars.
I like to incorporate healthy snacks for my students and have found that they enjoy them quite a bit!
This project will also provide them with fruit snacks, goldfish crackers, and chips during the late afternoon and early evening. For tests or extended assignments, I like to provide my students with Life Savers mints. In its own way, it keeps my students focused on the tasks at hand. I am also a fan of them as well. I also added a few of their favorite snacks to have at home while waiting for dinner. We are making the best of our new learning models and hope that you can satisfy our hunger for learning and snacking!
