[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a kindergarten teacher and there’s almost a 100% correlation between quality of snacks and quality of the kid (behavior and academic achievement). Lots of PPs seem offended by this but I’m telling you what I see. Same with how long they’re in after care, but I suspect that will get even more outrage (and to be fair, it’s a good correlation but not nearly as strong a correlation as the snacks). [/quote]

Define quality of snacks for a kindergartner. [/quote]

Greek yogurt, baby belle cheese, a banana, veggies and hummus, veggies and guacamole,  an apple, a small tortilla rolled up with ham and cheese. I’m no nutritionist but I see lots of good options and they don’t get thrown away. I think there are some good bars for kids too but don’t really inspect them. I see plenty of cheeze-its and Oreos too. [/quote]

A lot of these things are only good if kept cold. Not making excuses but it isn’t easy to find low sugar shelf stable snacks that don’t contain nuts. [/quote]

Literally any fruit or vegetable will make it to snack time with an ice pack.[/quote]
