We eat lunch so early! The students are very hungry in the afternoon so to avoid accidentally leaving a snack at home (we don't want any hangry kindergarteners), I am asking for each family to donate one snack per month for the class. I will mix the snacks together so students can choose from a bin of snacks when they come in from recess. If you have a Sams or Costco Membership, you could buy in bulk and that should be enough for 2 months! Prepackaged snacks are preferred but not necessary! No drinks other than spill proof water bottles filled with water only.
