My students come from vastly different backgrounds and life experiences. They are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am always looking to keep things simple and provide my students with a creative and meaningful learning experience.
My students are a group of inquisitive and creative second graders who approach life and new concepts enthusiastically.
When returning to school from virtual learning, differentiating for the needs of the individual student will be incredibly important. My goal is to meet each child where they are (wherever that may be!) as they shift to face-to-face learning five days a week.
My Project
Sadly, hunger may impact a child’s school performance. Research demonstrates that children from families who are not sure where their next meal may come from are more likely to have lower math scores and repeat a grade, among other challenges.
My students need nutrients so they can grow, develop and focus on learning instead of thinking about the food they need.
This is why I want to Starve Off Hunger One Day at a Time with your help. I am requesting snacks such as Ritz crackers, Cheese Wiz, Welch's Fruit Snacks, and Chips so ultimately, my students will be able to concentrate in the classroom, succeed in school and be prepared to enter the workforce as adults.
Hunger during the school year is not a class I want any of my kids to take. But with your help, we can make sure my kids and others have the healthy food they need when school is in session so they can learn, play and grow.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
