My Project

Our class project upholds ethics and values; demonstrates integrity; promotes and defends equal opportunities; encourages organizational and individual responsibility towards the community and the environment

demonstrates an interest in and understanding of others; adapts to the team and builds team spirit; listens, consults others and communicates proactively; supports and cares for others

able to follow directions; sets appropriate standards of behavior; motivates others; seeks development opportunities and coaching

speaks fluently; expresses opinions, information and key points of an argument clearly and utilizing soft skills.

The snack donation will be used to support students in classroom by providing them with the necessary fuel to stay focused and engaged throughout the class block. Many of my students experience hunger before lunch, which affects their ability to concentrate during class lessons. By offering snacks like cookies, fruit, or crackers, I can ensure that students have a quick energy boost that helps them stay alert during key learning periods.

In addition to benefiting students’ concentration, these snacks will also be used as rewards for positive behavior and academic achievements. For example, when students reach certain milestones, such as completing a challenging project or demonstrating improvement in their studies, they will be given a snack as a form of recognition. This will not only encourage good behavior but also create a positive and supportive classroom environment where students feel motivated and appreciated.
