Help me give my students healthy snacks and floor markers for a perfect start to the year!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lopes's classroom raised $379

My Project

My project this August is to fill our snack bins with healthy food to keep the students in our room fueled and ready to work. I chose to pick snacks that would give my students protein and energy. This will make a difference in their ability to learn.

My goal is to not have to worry about long afternoons with quick and energizing snacks.

My project also includes a few essentials for our room. We need one more trash can so my students have a place to discard wrappers from the treats and snacks they eat. The desk planner will help keep our month easy to manage. I am really excited to try out the floor and carpet markers as well because it will make lining up much easier for my students. I think this organizational tool will be a winner for sure!
