My Project

Throughout second grade, we are constantly on the go with learning. My students are learning that second grade requires attention and persistence. and these snacks are for rewards.

Also, the healthy snacks and socks will be used for students who have displayed positive behavior in the classroom.

The disinfectant wipes and hand soap are for making sure the students stay clean throughout the day. These items will be used on a consistent basis because they eat breakfast in the classroom daily, so we must maintain a clean and inviting classroom.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
