Our classroom snack policy has changed for this school year.  In the spirit of following the Montessori philosophy more closely, we will be having class snack this year instead of each student providing their own snack.  This will allow the children to practice the practical life skills of preparing and serving food as well as cleaning and caring for the kitchen environment.  I have created a sign up sheet for you to sign up to provide snack for the class.  Check it out here:  http://www.wejoinin.com/sheets/qgsbx There is also a link on the right side bar for future reference.  When you sign up, you are responsible for bringing snack for the week for 25 students.  Please let me know ASAP if your child has any food allergies or dietary restrictions.  The snacks will need to be healthy.  Please don’t bring anything that is sugary or that will cause large messes or stains.  Some ideas are:

fruits and vegetables

crackers

bagels and cream cheese

fruit leather

granola bars

raisins

pretzels

graham crackers

goldfish crackers

cheese

dry cereal

rice cakes

We have a small refrigerator in our classroom, but it does not hold a lot.  Please limit refrigerated items to one or two small items per week.

Please let me know if you have any questions.  Thank you for your support of our new snack policy.
