Snack Attack

Help me give my students special snacks for doing their best work even when it is difficult.

My Project

The students in my special education class work really hard despite their disabilities. In addition, they will work especially hard for special food incentives. It is increasingly difficult for me to be the sole provider of snacks for my students.

Providing my students with snacks as incentives would drive their work toward the best they can do with the skills they have.

Food prices have skyrocketed, and snacks are expensive. My students will do their best when offered something for working hard. I want to be able to provide that to my students for giving 100% throughout the day.
