My Project

My students often need a snack part way through their day in order to make it to the end of the day. I am a firm believer that students need nourishment to keep their brains working and I hope to provide help with this through some of the items in this project. I have chosen nut free snacks as we are a nut free school. I also chose items that students enjoy as well as will help fill them up like crackers.

The students work hard in small group throughout the week and often earn a prize as a result.

Most of the items, like the notebooks, pencils, and squishy toys are all to go into my prize bucket. Students love to have a variety to choose from and are so grateful when they get new prize items.
