All 7 of my students come to school hungry. Although they participate in the free/reduced breakfast, that piece of toast, applesauce, and milk will not keep growing boys from feeling hungry early in their day. I schedule a morning and afternoon snack because I know that hungry students can not and will not learn. My students are achieving below/far below. If providing them with healthy snacks can help them increase focus and energy then that's my responsibility, as a teacher, to ensure they are ready to learn. However, as we all know teachers are not paid the big bucks. Thanks!
