My Project
Snacks in the classroom can provide several benefits for students, especially when chosen wisely. Here are some key advantages:
1.
Supports Focus & Concentration
Hunger can be a major distraction for students. Providing snacks helps maintain energy levels and keeps students engaged in lessons rather than thinking about their next meal.
2. Boosts Cognitive Function
Healthy snacks with protein, fiber, and healthy fats (e.g., nuts, yogurt, fruits, whole grains) can enhance brain function, memory, and problem-solving skills, leading to better academic performance.
3. Improves Mood & Behavior
Hunger can lead to irritability and frustration, making it harder for students to regulate emotions. A well-timed snack can help stabilize mood and improve classroom behavior.
More than half of students from low‑income households
