First Grade SNACK!

First grade teachers emphasize the importance of eating healthy foods,
especially ones that are free of excessive sugar and salt.  We understand
that a child’s behavior can be directly related to their diet, which is why the
first grade team thought it would be a great idea to have morning snack. 

Our “snack” criteria are:
1.    Healthy
2.    Not messy, easy to eat while working
3.    Doesn’t require a utensil, finger foods are best
4.    One item or baggie – it is a snack, not a meal!

Suggested “snacks” include, but aren’t limited to:

apples (sliced/whole)                                                ½ peanut butter sandwich
banana                                                                      fruit/cereal bars/Z Bar
grapes                                                                       granola bar
strawberries                                                              dry Cheerios (or other cereal with minimal sugar)
orange slices                                                            cubed cheese
raisins                                                                       string cheese
dried fruit                                                                  vegetable sticks
crackers                                                                    trail mix
almonds/nuts

  
***We encourage your children to drink plenty of water throughout the day and give them opportunities to do so.  Students may bring water bottles to class as long as they are labeled with their names and have a top so they don’t spill.
