Children Work Better When They Aren't Hungry! Part 2

Help me give my students a snack when they are hungry! I like to keep a big drawer of snacks for my students full. I believe kids work better when they are not worried about their hungry bellies.

My Project

Please help me supply my classroom and students with snacks! I had great response with the first snack project I did for my students. I would like to provide more for them. I spend out of my pocket sometimes to fill my snack drawer, but it is not always easy. I provide snacks through out the day when anyone asks, no one is turned away, especially if they are not in my classroom. It is hard for students to concentrate when they are hungry, and I feel that when they have something to eat they work better.
