Snack
Communal Classroom Snack:
Our class will be having a communal snack program, which means that all students will eat the same snack each day. This snack model has worked very well for students because there are no problems with someone having a "better" snack than someone else. Parents also have been pleased with the ease of the snack program and this way of doing snack ensures the safety of students with food allergies. Families will start the year with sending in one box of snack and then when we run out of snack during the school year, I will ask families to send more in the weekly newsletter that will be sent home each Friday.
Peanut/Tree Nut Free Snack Suggestion List
Due to food allergies, our class will have peanut free snacks. When choosing a peanut free snack for your child’s class, it is important to ALWAYS check the label on the package to make sure it is free of peanuts and nuts of all kinds. These are the items on labels to be aware of, this is only to serve as a resource. It is in no way complete.
PLEASE READ THE LABELS, each time you purchase. Do not purchase items with the allergy and ingredient alert such as: “May Contain Peanut or Tree Nuts” “Processed on shared equipment with Peanuts or Tree Nuts” “Manufactured in a plant with Peanut or Tree Nuts” “Contains Peanut or Tree Nut Ingredients”
