One of the things that I like to do is to keep an "I Forgot My Snack/Snack Money" bucket in our classroom. I like to keep it filled with individually wrapped snacks such as granola bars, snack size goldfish bags, fruit snacks, etc. I like to do this primarily because the children are typically very hungry during our snack recess time of 2:10-2:25 and it is difficult for them to get through the day when they have 'hungry" little stomachs. Donations to help keep the bucket filled would be greatly appreciated. Please though, nothing with peanut butter or peanuts as we have to be sensitive to children with allergies. Thanks in advance for you help.

Other items that we can ALWAYS use for the classroom are:

• baby wipes ~ for cleaning hands and minor spills
  

• glue sticks ~ they go through these very quickly
  

• reams of white copy paper
