Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

In Pre-K, we have students with all types of needs. Something I implemented earlier this year is snack time. Many of our students only eat while they are at school, so it is great to be able to provide them with a free breakfast, lunch, and snack before they leave for the day. We have snack time at the end of our school day, every single day because who knows when the students will eat again? Snack time before dismissal helps the growling tummies and it is one of my preschoolers' favorite times of the day. I would love to provide my preschoolers with Goldfish crackers and their own individual water bottles! The water bottle organizer will allow students to store their water bottles safely and neatly in the classroom and will foster independence.

Having a snack during the day helps manage the hunger of my students and their growing bodies while boosting nutrition, and keeping the students fueled up for their next activity.

Thank you so much for your support!
