[quote=Anonymous]DS came home saying his 1st grade teacher said he needs to pack more snack. A couple weeks later she told him he needs to pack water daily.

Background:
I’m a mostly SAHM. I cook a big breakfast for my kid, then take him to school with two snacks, a lunch, and a water bottle.

Lately the water bottle has been giving him trouble (spills, bottle damage, and Miss T also emailed to ask I don’t pack a non straw bottle bc of spills) so after buying 4 or 5 different kinds of bottles I finally told him a couple weeks ago he can just drink from the fountain and drink at lunch. He typically eats his whole lunch but for awhile it was coming back partially uneaten so I started sending healthier snacks instead of snack packs.

Snack is twice daily and it’s typically things like:
Homemade medium size muffin
Handful of grapes or two apricots
Carrot sticks
An apple 
Mini roll of Ritz crackers

What do you think DCUM? Do you think a kid needs to pack water every single day even when it’s not hot out? And am I packing enough snack?
