My Students

More snacks please--

Help me provide my students with snacks available in the classroom if they are hungry .

My Students work so nicely together as a family since they feel comfortable in class. We, as a class, incorporate stability and routine into each other's lives so that each member of our close knit family feel comfortable and eager to work on their academics individually, in pairs, or in teams as needed.

The day can be long and the weekends (holiday breaks) even longer.

My students receive free breakfast and free lunch in school. I would like to provide them with a healthy food (snack) boost to remain focused on their academics since it's hard to focus or catch up if they are hungry and need a little snack type 'pick-me-up'.

My Project

Knowing that my students will have a healthy snack available to them is essential in helping them in their academic lives.

The idea that somebody cared enough about them to ensure that they have available snacks would mean the world to them again.

By providing a variety of snacks, my students would not have to worry about if they would have something they like to eat at school or not. They would have different types of snacks available to them. We also have a later lunch period. These readily available snacks will help them focus until lunchtime.

My job, as their teacher, is to meet as many of their needs as possible, not just their academic needs. I need to be able to do this to the best of my ability. With your help, I can take care of a slight hunger need which arises a lot. It is not easy to focus on their learning if their stomachs are taking their attention away from me.
