Kindergarten Family

Help me give my students snacks that they need as they start their school journey in Kindergarten. Just like when you have guests in your home, food is a comfort item as you get to know each other!

My Project

At the beginning of each school year my goal is to build a classroom family. When you first meet someone it is normally over food and I want to be able to provide my student snacks and comfort as they get to know me, their school family, and what school is, in hopes to fall in love with learning.

Every kindergarten student needs something different at the beginning of the school year and being able to figure out what that is by talking with them, one on one over a snack is a great way to get to know them and what they need for me.

Please help me stock of the snack bin and refrigerator for my new classroom family.
