Comfortable Classroom

Help me give my students the food and comfort to learn as much as they can in a day.

My Project

Feeling safe and comfortable in school is really important these days. Some kids don't have what they need at home to feel this way. While in school, it is important to make sure these kids can feel as comfortable as possible to learn as much as they can.

Having healthy snacks and comfortable places to learn can really help improve a child's ability to learn and absorb as much knowledge as possible.

These snacks and seating areas can really help all my students feel comfortable and ready to take on the day of work. We don't eat lunch until 1:10pm and our day starts at 8:00am. That is a long time to wait to eat. Full bellies help support full brains.
