My Project

When your in Kindergarten one of the most exciting parts of the day is snack time. Unfortunately in my classroom there are always several students who are unable to bring in a snack. My students come from homes where money is tight and there is oftentimes nothing extra to send as a snack. Many students rely on the breakfast and lunch that the school provides as their main meals for the day.

Hungry students can not learn well.

The intent of my project is to provide snacks for my classroom so that when a student is hungry I have something to offer them to eat. Therefore no student will ever be hungry or left out of snack time.
