September 4, Day 1

How quickly our lovely summer goes! I hope everyone is well and rested. By now, you've received your letters regarding your place in this class. There is an important change to our schedule regarding lunchtime.

Our lunch period this year will start at 12:55, which is a long time from breakfast!  We will having a mid-morning break during which students can use the bathroom, get water and eat a snack they have brought from home. Please send a healthy snack with your child each day. While not limited to those listed, here are some popular snacks that work well in our classroom setting:

• Baked chips/ multigrain chips
• Fruits/veggies (apples, oranges, bananas, grapes, baby carrots, celery sticks, etc)
• Pretzels
• Raisins
• Popcorn
• Granola bars
• Crackers
• Cheese sticks
• Graham crackers
• Cheerios
• Fig bars
• Dried fruit
• Animal crackers
• Breadsticks
• Flatbreads
• Rice cakes
• Fruit leathers
• Seaweed

Please keep in mind that snack time is usually a time for independent reading or writing tasks, so snacks that can be easily held are ideal.

 

I look forward to seeing you all very soon. We will meet at the school yard at 8:20am on Thursday. Have a great final day of summer recess!
