A Green Snack

Caroline's homework assignment tonight was to bring in a green snack for St. Patrick's Day tomorrow. The Kindergarten classes are planning on having a green snack buffet tomorrow. I was talking to a teacher friend and asking what should we prepare? I had thought of cucumbers or pickles, trying to think outside the typical box of green apples and green grapes. She suggested Apple Jack Cereal and to let Caroline separate the green ones from the orange ones. This would allow her to help with her snack. I thought this sounded great! So I went to the store and picked up two big boxes of Apple Jacks. Caroline and Ryan loved sorting and eating the cereal. It was interesting to find that there are many more orange ones than green ones. After sorting two large boxes we had a half gallon bag full. She is excited about her snack! I hope all the kindergartners appreciate all the hard work that went into having some green cereal for snack!
