Snacks
Each day we will have a snack together in our classroom. During snack, the children have the opportunity to work on goals such as independent eating, socialization, sharing, and using appropriate manners. You will be asked to send snack in with your child 1 time per month. If your child is not on the calendar one month he or she will be on it the next month. Please provide nutritious snacks for the # of children in each class, as well as any necessary utensils needed for the snack. The # of children in each class is on the calendar.
We will be sending home a snack calendar each month with your child’s assigned snack day. We will also have a “snack buffet” one day a month for some months. On this day all of the children can bring in a small snack that is our shape and/or color of the month to share with their friends. It doesn’t have to be both color and shapes. This day will vary based on the school calendar and special activities each month.
We will also do our best to assign your child snack day on his/her birthday. Please feel free to have your child help you pick out the snack for his/her friends on their snack day! We will be doing cooking activities throughout the school year. On certain days we may ask you to provide a certain ingredient.
