Would it be agreeable to everyone if we took weekly turns at bringing in snack this year? Since there are only six children in the class, I’m certainly willing to take a turn with snack, as well, so we’d be on a seven-week rotation. (That would come out to about two turns each before the winter break.) We'll be eating morning snack every day, but I'm not as firmly attached to the idea of afternoon snack; it's harder to fit in, and it won't always be necessary. I had been intending to provide snack this week, since I hadn’t sent out any notice about it; however, Parker’s father was kind enough to bring in a big tub of pretzel sticks anyway, so perhaps that family would like to take a turn this week? It’s pretty much taken care of with the pretzels, anyway… No matter what we decide, thank you for the pretzels, Ron! That was very thoughtful.
I’m therefore proposing the following Schedule of Snack Rotation (currently randomly ordered; just let me know if you’d rather have a different week!):
9/8 - 9/11 Parker’s family
9/14 – 9/18 Peter’s family
9/21 – 9/25 Max’s family
9/28 – 10/2 Alec’s family
10/5 – 10/9 Maria’s family
10/12 – 10/16 Mike’s family
10/19 – 10/23 Renata
10/ 26 – 10/30 Parker’s family
11/2 – 11/6 Peter’s family
11/9 – 11/13 Max’s family
11/16 – 11/20 Alec’s family
11/23 – 11/27 Renata (Thanksgiving week)
11/30 – 12/4 Maria’s family
12/7 – 12/11 Mike’s family
12/14 – 12/18 Renata
Does that work all right? Tthere are only six kids in the class, so providing snack shouldn't be too onerous a burden.
I believe everyone's dealt with snack before, but here are some suggestions for healthy foods (shamelessly borrowed from Mrs. Carpenter's blog):
Vegetables - mini carrots, celery, cucumbers
Cheese and whole wheat crackers
Nutragrain Bars
Pretzels
Pre-popped plain popcorn
Yogurt
Bagels
Please remember to check for peanuts and tree nuts, including snacks made in a shared facility. Check labels for transfat and high fructose corn syrup and avoid those foods whenever possible.
