Snack Ideas for First Grade Classroom

[equinurse]

Hello Again,

It has been a long time since I have been able to post(or view for that matter) and I am interested in setting up a suggested list of snacks for my daughters first grade classroom.

I mentioned to the teacher that I was concerned about snacks that I have seen in other classrooms and she was more than happy to have me write up some suggestions. So, now I am here asking you all for suggestions...We are a peanut free class.

Also, just wanted to pass along that our PTO has decided to go soda free and bottled water free for all of our events (my husband mentioned that I really know how to win friends! My first night of being PTO secretary no less.)

Thanks in advance!

I was a Girl Scout leader for 6 years, and these are some snacks my troop enjoyed:

• carrot sticks or baby carrots, with hummus
• chips and salsa
• cheese (like cheddar or monterey jack) and whole-grain crackers
• trail mix of raisins, Cheerios, and chocolate chips
• apples
• oatmeal cookies (can be made very healthy with dried fruit, molasses or sorghum as the sweetener, and whole-wheat flour)
• cantaloupe chunks and pretzels (these go well together, but some kids don't like cantaloupe, but almost everyone likes pretzels)
• cherry tomatoes and cheese chunks
• peanut butter (you could suggest sunflower-seed butter, if it's available in your area) on whole-grain crackers
• granola bars

our PTO has decided to go soda free and bottled water free for all of our events

Good news!
