Classroom Supplies

Help me give my students snacks and cleaning supplies in the classroom as this helps students stay focused and energized, reducing hunger-related distractions.

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Supplying snacks and cleaning supplies in the classroom can positively impact students in several ways:

Boosts Focus and Energy

Hungry students struggle to concentrate. Providing snacks ensures they have the energy needed to stay engaged in lessons.

Healthy snacks like granola bars, fruit, or nuts help maintain steady energy levels and cognitive function.

Reduces Stress and Anxiety

Some students may not have access to enough food at home, and knowing snacks are available can ease their stress.

A clean environment also promotes a sense of order and calm, reducing distractions and anxiety.

Encourages Responsibility and Community

Having cleaning supplies available teaches students the importance of maintaining a tidy space.

Encouraging students to clean up after themselves fosters responsibility and respect for shared areas.

Promotes a Healthier Learning Environment

Regular cleaning helps prevent the spread of germs, reducing student absences due to illness.

Wipes, hand sanitizers, and tissues help maintain hygiene, especially during flu and allergy seasons.

Supports Positive Behavior and Engagement

When students’ basic needs are met, they are more likely to be engaged, cooperative, and focused on learning.

Knowing their teacher cares about their well-being can strengthen student-teacher relationships.
