My Project

It is a very long day, and they get really hungry. I teach 9 students with autism in special education self-contained class in a title 1 school. While most of my students receive free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch, some of our families are financially unable to give their children snacks for the day, and my students are often hungry throughout the day. This project is important because our students during this time have a very long day in school and doing their best to keep up in class. My students need some different yummy snacks such as Cheez-It, graham crackers, cookies to help them stay engaged in learning.
