Help me give my students fuel to learn and be engaged in our classrooms.

My Project

My students are 7th/8th grader learners of all level. One thing they can agree on is that they LOVE snacks. Students at this age are always hungry.

To help students stay invested in our learning, they need a treat at the end of the lesson to keep them striving and learning.

These snacks like the SlimJims are very popular with the students and they will work hard to complete their tasks. Students are excited to learn when they know there is a prize at the end of the day. To keep students engaged in our classroom, the student need fuel, these snacks will be valuable when it comes to students being invested in their learning.
