My Project

Two years ago, I added a snack bin in my classroom. Kids could take food as they needed it, but the focus was on need.

I have many kids who stay for after-school sports and clubs, and they like to grab snacks to help them sustain the energy they need to play after school.

I try to have healthy food options so they understand the importance of nutrition and the importance of picking good food and cooking healthy. The water bottles will be a beginning of the year staple that they can fill daily so they stay hydrated.

Other kids need the food because they forgot lunch or breakfast. This was an excellent way to keep kids awake and paying attention. My kids seemed to do better when I had items available. All the snacks are for my bin/store. These have been my kid's favorite snack items. We had to talk about wants versus needs with middle schoolers since I teach over 100 kids daily. I try to keep snacks available daily, but I must get help. Thank you for helping me sustain a snack basket that helps with their nutrition during the school year.
