What is an appropriate snack for my child to bring to school?
Snack time is a very important time of the school day. It brings about an awareness of good nutrition, helps develop good table manners and social skills, as well as provides a great opportunity for socialization with the teachers as well as the children. Each child will have many opportunities to bring the snack in during the school year (you will be given a schedule monthly by your child’s teacher). It’s important to make them a part of this ritual. Helping cut up fruit, or picking out their favorite cracker at the store is a great way for you to help encourage healthy snack choices in your child. Here is a list of appropriate healthy snack choices for school.
