My students were so happy to have snacks. They are constantly asking if they can have snacks and I let them know that if they do their work, they can have a snack after. I have 50 to 60s to a day so we're going through the snacks very quickly because they each get one or two snacks every day. Even after lunch, these middle schoolers are still hungry. Some of them don't eat lunch cause they don't like it so this little snack gives them a little energy even though it's sugar. Some of the students bring their own snack but many of the students don't have anything to eat for most of the day.

I've shared with the kids our class novel for first quarter, Written in the Sky, which is the class set you have provided us with. We are prepping for it by continuing to read short works and explain the value in local literature as well as get the students used to speaking and writing creatively in pidgin. In two or three weeks, the students will each get a copy of Written in the Sky and be reading about characters that live in their backyard, speak their language and face their struggles.","fullyFundedDate":1779904503919,"projectUrl":"project/written-in-the-sky-an-exploration-of-li/10302538/","projectTitle":"Written in the Sky- an Exploration of Literature and Self","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Werner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3113723_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1779419972606","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3113723"},{"teacherId":521197,"projectId":10104930,"letterContent":"Thank you so much!
