Dear Parents,
One of the children’s favorite times is when they bring in the snack for the rest of the class. Snack is self-served, chosen by the children when and if they are hungry. Serving sizes are written and drawn by the teaching staff for portion control. Enclosed is a schedule for each family to provide snack for one week of the 2015-2016 school year. Snack is not a meal; examples of some common snack servings are 3-5 crackers, 1 oz. of cheese, 3 oz. of yogurt, 1/2 banana, 1/3 of a cup of cereal, 1/3 of an apple, 1/2 cereal bar. It is a small amount to give the child a boost of energy for their learning day. The Montessori Children’s House will strive to accommodate special dietary and allergenic needs. Please let us know as soon as possible if your child has any dietary restrictions or needs. We do ask that you bring in peanut-free, tree-nut free, and cheese dust free snacks. The full snack list is on the school website, under the heading “Student Life” and “Approved Snack List.” We encourage parents to bring three fruit and/or vegetable snacks for every two carbohydrate and/or dairy snacks. Common Snacks: Carbohydrate pretzels tortilla chips popcorn crackers (snack crackers, saltines, etc) graham crackers animal crackers rice cakes Dairy cheese sticks (cheddar, mozzarella, monterey jack) block cheese yogurt Fruit apples bananas pears melon(honeydew, cantaloupe, watermelon) raisins, other dried fruit grapes strawberries blueberries peaches nectarines pineapple oranges Vegetables green, yellow, orange, red bell pepper celery baby carrots green beans cauliflower cucumbers grape or cherry tomatoes avocado broccoli Again, please consult the school’s website for the complete list of safe snacks. We will send home a reminder on the Friday before your snack week, along with a few suggestions for snacks, based on what we’ve had in the previous weeks. Thank you for your participation and cooperation!
