My Project

What I love about my students is their willingness to learn, no matter what the situation may be. By rewarding them with snacks during class keeps them motivated and eager to learn.

Cookies, chips and juices will get them through the class period knowing that they will be rewarded is the key to working smarter.

What makes my students special is that they will try to respond to discussions when they may not necessarily understand the full details. Just trying to participate in discussions and being focused in class is all we need, so when we need a snack break, we can grab a snack and keep going.
