My Project

The items I am requesting for our classroom store—snacks—will have a direct and positive impact on my students’ learning and well-being. Having access to snacks helps to keep students energized and focused throughout the day. Often, students may get distracted or lose focus when they are hungry, but by providing snacks in our classroom, I can ensure they have the fuel they need to stay engaged. The snacks will also be available for purchase using tickets they earn, teaching them valuable lessons in responsibility, budgeting, and decision-making as they choose their items.

My goal for this project is to create a positive and supportive classroom environment where students are empowered to make choices and manage their rewards while meeting their basic needs for nourishment.

By incorporating a snack store, I hope to foster an environment where students feel valued and cared for, which ultimately enhances their learning experience.

What makes my students special is their resilience and determination. Many of my students face challenges outside the classroom, but they come in every day with enthusiasm and a readiness to learn. This project is not just about providing snacks—it’s about offering them a small but important way to take control of their day, feel rewarded for their hard work, and continue to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
