Full Bellies = Happy and Engaged Learners

Help me give my students snacks to have on a daily during snack time. Most of my student's families cannot afford to provide their child a snack daily.

My Project

My students are curious, intelligent, and loving 1st graders! They love to learn and are always eager to engage in hands-on and challenging activities. They do their absolute best to come to school ready to learn everyday!

Our learning takes place in the morning from 7:35-11:40 with no transitions to leave the classroom until lunch.

Since our morning are so immersed in learning I provide my students a break in our schedule which is snack time. Students need this time to take a break, reenergize with a snack, and listen to a read aloud! However, majority of my student's families cannot afford to provide their scholar with a snack daily. These materials will help me provide my students with snacks on a daily basis so that their families do not have to worry about it and most importantly so that these students can enjoy their well deserved break from learning.
