My Project

Our school day begins at 8am. Many students arrive late to school and miss our morning breakfast, which starts at 7:30am. As you know, it’s really hard to focus on reading and writing when you have no fuel in your body or energy.

This project will help fuel the body and brains of my Kindergarten scholars so they can be ready for learning.

Our day ends at 2:30pm. By 1:30pm, many of my Kindergarten scholars are feeling a little hungry. These snacks will help get them to the end of the school day. It’s a long day for my kiddos, but learning and play will be achieved, if I was able to provide them with a quick breakfast in the morning and a little snack towards the end of the day. I know just making this minor change will have a huge impact on the learning, engagement, and results I see within my classroom.
