Snack

This year we will have one snack time each day.

It will be at approximately 2:45 PM.

In kindergarten, we discuss healthy eating. We learn about eating a balanced diet with fruits and vegetables as part of our health curriculum. Please try to send a healthy snack for your child each day, separate from his/her lunch. We try to eat healthy snacks at snack time and save treats for dessert at lunch. If possible, please send your child's snack in a container that can be reused, such as a washable plastic container rather than a bag. As part of our science curriculum, we discuss the three Rs: reduce, reuse, recycle and these containers can add to our understanding of reusable containers and the importance of taking care of our earth.

🍎Ideas for a healthy snack:🥕

Fruit (grapes, berries, melon chunks, pineapple chunks, apple slices, orange, banana, kiwi, peaches, nectarines, pears, cherries, raisins, craisins, other dried fruits)

We are not able to heat food (lunch or snack) here at school and we do not provide refrigeration. If you need to keep something cold, please put an ice pack in your child's lunch box and if you need to keep something hot, insulated Thermos' work well. Lunch is at 11:40 AM. If you send in a snack that requires utensils, please send in the utensils.
