DAILY SNACKS Each morning we have snack time. Please send in a nutritious snack for your child. Some ideas are fruits, vegetables, yogurt, and cereals low in sugar, crackers and cheese or granola bars just to name a few ideas. Chips, pudding, fruit roll ups and fruit snacks are highly discouraged due to the high salt, fat, and sugar content. Please be sure that the snack your child eats is an item that will help him/her concentrate on his/her schoolwork. Sugary snacks are not the best for "minds-on and hands-on" learning! In addition, we may have students within our class that are highly allergic to peanuts. Please refrain from bringing a snack with any peanut related ingredients. If you are uncertain about this, please read the labels of your packaging. BIRTHDAYS You may be planning a special birthday party for your child this year. The policy for Woodland Elementary is that invitations may not be sent home from school unless the entire class is invited to take part in the party. A school directory will be compiled through our PTA and the names and address of children can be used from that resource to send invitations through the mail. If you have any questions about this please let me know. Students may bring birthday treats for the class. Special cookies, cupcakes, candy treats,etc. are fine for birthday celebrations!
