SNACK TIME
Due to our extended school day and our daily lunch being so early, we have a snack time each afternoon. For the past few years, I have utilized a "Community Snack" model. Instead of each child being responsible to bring in a snack for themselves daily, parents send in a snack for the class about once a month. Community Snack is optional. You are more than welcome to send a snack with your child each day, but please make sure they know what specifically is for their snack and where it is located in their backpack/lunchbox. I have found that the Community Snack is both helpful to families and myself. Before I did snack this way, many children would forget their snack, eat it at lunch or on the bus, etc.
If you would like to participate, please follow the schedule below.
Beginning in September, send in a snack for approximately 20 children:
-within the FIRST two weeks of the month - students with last names A-K
-within the LAST two weeks of the month - students with last names L-Z
*For the last two weeks of August, I am going to ask anyone that is willing/able, please bring a contribution to your KRA appointment!
This schedule is FLEXIBLE:)! If for some reason you cant do it one month, forget, etc. It is NO problem. I have found that we usually have plenty to get us by here and there.
Each day, we eat snack on the carpet while listening to a story, so all snacks need to be individually wrapped, must not need a utensil and not a drink (we have a drinking fountain). Please make sure snacks are healthy (no chips, cookies, candy) and can be kept in our snack closet (if it is for the class).
