This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
Help me give my students snacks and treats. I teach at a high school and seems that these kids are always hungry. Most inner-city high school students have a poor diet and continuously digest foods that are bad for their mind and body. Students need healthy snacks and treats to remain focused in class. Healthy snacks like these will ensure students will be successful in the classroom because they will have brain food. We eat lunch earlier in the day, and there are hours before the students go home to get food.
This project will provide my students with prepackaged snacks that they can eat, giving their brains fuel and their bodies the energy to be productive students.
I would like for my students to be smarter in selecting snacks and have the mentality of knowing how healthy snacks helps in positive thinking. My students are forever asking for food throughout the school day. Because they ask for snacks quite often, I try to have a cabinet with snacks they can choose from. These snacks are healthy snacks or snacks that will give them a bigger boost during their learning and active day.
