"Starving student" box
We all know how difficult it is to concentrate when you are hungry. In our class, we have a "starving student" drawer. Students can take food anytime. If they are able to donate a food item later, that is expected. Students who have food insecurity are not expected to replace the food. Everyone is welcome to take food. Donations are gladly accepted. Some suggestions are single serving packages of:
Fruit cups or applesauce
Dried fruit packets
Sandwich crackers**
Granola bars**
Trail mix**
Nuts **
Fresh fruit (very popular with students)
Individually wrapped baby carrot packs
Flavored or white milk boxes
Individually wrapped cheese sticks
Individually wrapped meat sticks
etc.
(I have a fridge to keep cold foods in.)
**At this age, students are good about reading labels if they have food allergies, so you don't need to worry.**
