My Project

My project is meant to provide snacks for my students so they are able to focus on their learning. I teach in an urban community where students parents are struggling to make ends meet. This project will ensure all students have snacks available to them in the afternoon when hunger strikes! I also added in candy as motivation for learning and making positive choices throughout the day. I teach kindergarten and students are just learning the expectations of learning, so the candy will work as motivation to follow the rules. Thank you for your support!
