My Project

All students deserve the same access to learning, which does not exist when some have the barrier of hunger stopping them from focusing. Healthy and filling snacks provide elementary school students with the energy and focus they need to excel in their studies. We know that nutritious snacks stabilize blood sugar levels, improve concentration, and help prevent mid-day fatigue, enabling students to stay engaged and absorb new information effectively. Additionally, small, earned prizes as incentives for learning can further enhance motivation. Rewards such as eraser animals or extra playtime encourage positive behaviors and reinforce effort, creating a supportive environment where children feel excited to participate and achieve their educational goals. I try to use experience rewards and build intrinsic motivation as much as possible, but little prizes are necessary motivation for some students.
