Snacks to Focus and Cleaning/Hygiene Items to Stay Healthy

Help me give my students snacks for when they are hungry and can't focus on our work. Having a full stomach helps them to focus and be able to learn.

My Students

My classroom of twenty-three fourth grade students is in a school of high poverty. All of our students receive free lunch and breakfast here at school. Many of my children are homeless, living in shelters or in their cars. I have children who have hard to handle behaviors due to the high stress in their lives. The background knowledge that most of the children have is lacking due to the fact that most of their parents speak another language, are unable to read in their home language, don't speak English, didn't graduate high school, and most of them are working more than one job, leaving many of my kids home alone. Due to the negative outside impact of this world on their lives, the parents and children have other things to focus on.

Many children in the surrounding areas don't have to worry about the daily impacts that my students face, such as witnessing shootings in their apartment complex and having to hide behind a dumpster so they don't get shot.

I try to expose them to various activities that they wouldn't be able to access otherwise.

My Project

I am requesting snacks and cleaning items for my students in our classroom. My students are hungry throughout the day and cannot always focus because they are distracted by their stomach growling. The snacks will help them to focus while also keeping them full. Students do better in school when they are full and are able to focus on their education.

My students LOVE to clean our room and I am teaching them the importance of hand washing and hygiene during these times in COVID.

The cleaning/hygiene materials will help to keep our classroom healthy and clean.
