My Students

Imagine a wing full of independent and inquisitive fourth graders all working toward their own learning goals. Our wing is a think tank filled with the leaders of tomorrow. We are unique and their learning is important to the global future.

Our school is located in one of the most vibrant cities in the Northeast!

It is home to a diverse base of families and a spectrum of socioeconomic backgrounds. Every classroom mirrors the diversity in our beautiful city.

About half of our students receive free or reduced-cost lunch, while many others do not. This is what makes our grade level and school a rich and vibrant community much like Portland. These students deserve a vibrant and diversified learning experience that highlights this.

My Project

Have you ever started your day with a light breakfast and found yourself needing a little snack to get you through until lunch? Students can work up a wild appetite as they dig deep into their learning. They need snacks high in fiber and slow-burning carbs like Gold Fish, Popcorn, or something a little sweeter like fruit leather.

Students cannot be super the super learners that I know them to be while hungry.

When students are hungry their focus cannot be at 100%. They can become distracted and lose forward momentum. By fueling their body with something tasty like fruit leather, or popcorn, they can keep their momentum up.

My students are in fifth grade, which means growth spurts and big appetites. While I try to limit snacking to a healthy level, I never want them to have to sit in my room and be unfocused due to being hungry.
