My Project

Now that we are getting close to the end of the school year, it is important to come up with ways to engage students. My students need healthy snacks to remain focused and energized during school. Snacks like these will ensure students will be successful in school because they will have brain food. These snacks will offer students a variety of healthy snacks or snacks that will give them a bigger boost during their school day.

Students work harder when they have an incentive to work towards!

If students earn a certain amount of Dojo points during the school day, they can use their points to "purchase" a snack from the snack bin. Some days we are just hungrier than other days!

The Pop-Tarts are a great way to encourage students to share and they can invite a friend to have a mini snack time and take a small break. These snacks will encourage students to keep working!
