My Project

My students are incredible they make my day every day. I love watching them grow from the beginning of the year to the end. As we are preparing for the STAAR Test my kids need more energy, motivation, and concentration.

With these resources my kids will be motivated to succeed on their assessment and prepare efficiently for the big day!

They are often still hungry after lunch and long for something nutritious to boost their energy. These resources will also serve as a reward for my students putting their best foot forward. They deserve to be able to concentrate on their work
