My Project

This project will allow all students in my classroom to be provided with a snack if they are hungry and in need. No student can learn or focus with a hungry stomach. These snacks will be spread out to last throughout the school year. This variety of snacks will allow all students to find a snack they will enjoy, while also being healthy. As their teacher I have felt the need to provide snacks for students, however with so many in need I cannot continue to provide the amount needed.
