Got Snacks?!

Help me give my students a satisfied stomach to remain focused on learning!

My Project

Imagine being 6 years old and you are halfway through a school day. Your stomach is making a monstrous sound and feels like it is about to fall out. I remember that feeling of being hungry and having to wait 3-4 more hours to get home and eat something. This is the same feeling my 1st-grade students have after hours of learning. The "Got Snacks?!" project will allow me to help fulfill my student's midday hunger, which will ultimately result in academic success.

My goal is for my students to stay focused on learning.

Having an empty stomach can cause "hangriness", behavior problems and lack of focus. The variety of snacks such as Pringles, Goldfish, and Welch's fruit snacks is the perfect amount of consumption of food to satisfy their empty stomach until they get home.

Not only can students benefit from having a snack at school, they can also take a snack home. Unfortunately, some student's only meals are from school. That is why I included other snack options like Poptarts, cereal bars, and Nutrigran bars that can be eaten any time of the day.

"Got Snacks?!" will not only provide snacks but also a sense of care and love!
