Snacks
Parents provide a snack for the classroom on a rotating basis. Teachers provide sign-up sheets so that you will know when it is your turn. Typically parents sign up for a week at a time – feel free to bring all the items for the entire week on the first day, or day by day. Cold items may be stored in the refrigerator in the kitchen.
To meet state health and safety requirements, we ask that all snacks be pre-packaged and store bought.
In addition, snack should represent at least two of the four major food groups. To support our efforts to instill good eating habits, we ask that you bring nutritious, non-sugary snacks. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
The following are some snack suggestions:
- Non-sugar cereals with milk
- Bagel and cream cheese (mini-bagels are great)
- Vegetables and dip
- String cheese
- Crackers and cheese
- Sandwiches
- Fruit and Yogurt
Cooking projects and food preparation ideas are welcome. Be sure to clear such projects with the teacher ahead of time so that she can include the activity into her daily plans. In addition, we request that parents record what they bring for snack on the snack sign-up calendar.
Please be aware and considerate of any children who may have food allergies and avoid bringing those snacks into the classroom. Snack sign-up sheets will post allergy lists.
