Please sign-up for two weeks to provide snack for the classroom with the following link: https://wejoinin.com/sheets/hvclv

There is a philosophical reason behind snack time in the Montessori Method.  Your child will gain the skills of helping to prepare (cutting apples, etc) and clean up snack and serve their classmates. This teaches leadership and is one of the children’s favorite activities. We will be teaching healthy eating habits and ask that only healthy snacks be brought for this time. We really need your help for this food preparation/snack time to work.  Fresh produce from your garden is a welcome snack as well. There will be a snack sign up sheet posted shortly.  Ideally, we ask that you provide snack twice during the school year.
