This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I currently have a total of 50 students between both of my third grade class. My students are awesome students who have a love for learning, technology, reading, writing, science, math, and social studies. They are very excited about learning, and I want to make the class interactive. I want to help them succeed in their everyday challenging environment. I teach an inclusion class. I have four students that are autistic in my class. They blend right in with my students. We're one big happy family where everyone understands and respects one another.
My Project
We are approaching the holidays and we will be out of school for over two weeks.
My students come to school hungry and exhausted most days.
I want to create snack bags for my students to have to take with them over the winter break. I currently have a snack cabinet in my classroom that allows my students to go and take a few things with them to eat. Many of my students take extra snacks so that they can share with their younger siblings. We have a long school day and we eat lunch at 11:35 am in the morning. My students are usually hungry again before we leave school at 3:05 p.m. I'm concerned that when we aren't in school my students won't have enough food over the holiday break. This project will help them until school's back in session.
