Matinees and Moral

Help me give my students materials to help them succeed in class because many come to my class hungry and can not engage fully in learning.

My Project

Good Morning all! Please help me grow the minds of my students and give them more materials! Many of my students come to school hungry and late making them miss breakfast. We start at 7:45. For many of them, if they are hungry they will not engage and focus on the task at hand. With this, I have found feeding them helps them engage in work, which is why I am asking for a variety of snack items.

I would also like my students to be able to engage in hands-on learning.

I currently have a set of class whiteboards, but I do not have enough erasers to use them in class without damaging them! These supplies will do a lot to help my classroom grow and be. Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity!
