Since then, snacks have become part of our classroom routine, especially on days with heavier discussions or activities that require sustained attention.\r\n\r\nStudents were genuinely excited and appreciative. It wasn't just about the food, but about feeling cared for. That sense of support has made the classroom feel more comfortable and community-driven.
