My Project

The snack donations to the classroom will be a great way to inspire as well as rewarding my scholars for their progress in class both acadamically and behaviorally. I enjoy giving students rewards in class to encourage them to always try their best on assignments and to never give up. Students need to be motivated at times as it is very difficult being a student. Students come to school tired, stressed and alot of times undernourished. They need some brain food to focus and function at school. Students are always willing to work for food!!
