Snack time is an important part of our day. It is usually mid-morning and lasts for 10-15 minutes. Snack time gives us a chance to refeul, relax and socialize with friends or read a book. Because we have found in the past that children are quite hungry towards the end of the day, we will also be having an afternoon "working snack." This snack will not be a break time like the morning, and will not interrupt instructional time. 
It is very important that children are provided with healthy foods for their snacks. I have compiled a list of suggestions to help you with ideas. If you have a great snack idea, please email me with it so I may add it to this list!
