My Project

STAAR testing is right around the corner and as we draw closer to the end of the school year the students are less focused and exhausted. Snacks are a great way to improve motivation and energy. I can physically see me students' heads droop throughout the day, and nothing makes them more excited than the possibility of getting fruit snacks or chips that our school does not offer.

Additionally, the act of receiving a treat serves as a positive reinforcement, making students feel acknowledged and motivated.

The simple pleasure of enjoying a snack creates a sense of accomplishment and encourages continued engagement in academic tasks, helping to foster a positive learning environment.
