17. Class Snacks and Treats
Learning is hard work and our brains need fuel! We will have a ‘nibble’ (small snack) each day-cereal, crackers, etc.
We will make a specific snack each month that is related to a holiday or social studies learning.
Students who make their AR goal each month will be invited to “Tea Time Tuesdays” with me.
