My Project

Have you ever tried to learn something new when you were hungry? The hangry monster makes it way too difficult to focus. So why do so many teachers expect kids to do it!?

Kids need to fill their bellies before they can fill their brains!

Students in first grade are still growing- and they have the appetites to prove it. I am constantly filling up our snack bin. I teach at a Title I school, where nearly all students are below the poverty line. We get free breakfast and lunch, but every day some students get to school late and miss breakfast! (Granola bars & GoGo Squeez are a big breakfast time favorite!) Or they are headed home and tell me they don't have any snacks this week. Six year olds shouldn't have to worry about things like that, and they definitely aren't ready to learn when that's what is on their minds. I always have options available to help them feel good and ready to learn. I would so appreciate any help keeping my little scholars full.
