My Project

We have a very diverse group of middle level learners at our school, but one thing they all have in common is they are always hungry. Please help me provide sustenance to students who need a little pick-me-up when they miss school breakfast or are helping their teachers and peers at lunch. Our thirty minute lunch break doesn't afford students time to do much else besides wait in line and scarf down their food, so I like to have some quick options for students to grab who want to participate in lunch time clubs and activities. Mandatory state testing is coming up for students in the spring quarter and a little snack goes a long way to motivate students when they are tested for two hours at a time. I've also requested some hard candies so when students are anxious they can use the "5-4-3-2-1" grounding exercise, where a child identifies five things they can see, four things they can touch, three things they can hear, two things they can smell, and one thing they can taste, helping them focus on the present moment and calm down when feeling anxious.
