In the spirit of following Dr. Montessori’s recommendations for child nutrition, and in order to align with school policy for snack, our classroom will be participating in child/family provided snack.   This routine will allow children the opportunity to practice practical life skills of preparing snack and cleaning up afterward.  Students will provide and prepare for a week for 27 students.  Please adhere to the approved items as it will streamline snack time and eliminate possibility of messy spills and stains in our classroom.

In order to ensure that snack does not become a distraction, our class is limiting the approved items to the following list:

• Mini bagels with cream cheese
• Fruit (ex. apples, clementines, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, cucumber, melon – cut at home, grapes, cherry tomatoes)
• Cheese Sticks
• Veggies (ex. carrots, broccoli, celery)
• Crackers with cheese (pre-cut)
• Granola Bars (no chocolate chips please)
• Fruit Leather (no fruit snacks or fruit roll-ups please)
• Mini-muffins
• Whole Grain bread with jam
