My Project

As a Special Education teacher I work with a variety of students at the middle school level, grades 6-8. As we approach testing season in the next month, I am looking to support my students' success and focus. My students are hard working and eager to show how much they have learned this year, especially since so many of them require extra learning time and opportunities. Many of them come from lower economic homes where snacks may not always be available. With our testing being early in the morning, I want my students to have access to favorite snacks to fuel their brains and power them through testing sessions as well as serving as incentives for when the testing gets tough!
