My Project

I plan to use my snacks to bridge hunger gaps while my students are in class. Snacks serve as incentives for completing tasks or assignments and provide a break and reward during study sessions.

Snacks offer a sense of anticipation and excitement, motivating children to accomplish goals.

They act as positive reinforcement, encouraging good behavior. I would use these snacks to fuel brainpower, enhance cognitive function, and boost motivation. They create a sense of enjoyment and satisfaction, making tasks feel less daunting. They will be a tool for us educators to instill discipline and perseverance in children. Thank you for your consideration of my classroom and for giving my kids snacks to end the school year strong.
