August Snack Calendar

Each month we will send home a snack calendar. If it is your snack day, we will send home the "snack sack" with your child the night before, please return it filled with snack for the day (We snack at about 2:30). We have 23 students in this class so please pack enough for each child. Please do not send anything with nuts or dark colored frosting.
This is a nut-free classroom in order to protect those with allergies. We can't have dark colored frosting or juice as it stains the carpeted floor. We prefer individually wrapped snacks because it makes the distribution that much easier for the student snack helper. Some snack ideas include fruit snacks, clementine oranges, cheezits, goldfish crackers, animal crackers etc.

Birthdays are an important day and we will celebrate in class with a Birthday snack. It is acceptable to send cupcakes, cookies or cookie cakes on these days but, again, please do not send anything with dark or bold colored frosting it stains clothes, tables and carpets.

‘Twas the Night Before School Started
‘Twas the night before school started,
When all through the town,
The parents were cheering.
It was a riotous sound!
By eight, kids were washed
And tucked into bed…
When memories of homework
Filled them with dread!

New pencils, new folders, and uniforms too!
New teachers, new friends…
Their anxiety grew!
The parents just giggled when
They learned of the fright
And shouted at bedrooms –

“Go to bed! It’s a school night!”
