If you're lucky and your child's school has the ability to heat up food that expands the menu a little but most schools don't have that option. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-d9ndCofnEwI/UL_GbPfcCQI/AAAAAAAAACY/Fu75Usp3YZc/s1600/FoodPyramid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-d9ndCofnEwI/UL_GbPfcCQI/AAAAAAAAACY/Fu75Usp3YZc/s1600/FoodPyramid.jpg" height="250" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Here are a few basic recommendations:</b><br />
<ol>
<li>Portions - There are so many great containers out there that offer 3 compartments for food portions. </li>
<li>Variety - These same portion containers allow for variety in your child's meal. Mixing up a fruit, vegtable, protien, dairy and/or carbs provides healthy variety.</li>
<li>Nutrition - Most kids like to see a sweet treat in their lunches but be sure to balance that with some more nutritional options too. If you do provide a dessert, then there should be a solid main dish and side along with it.</li>
</ol>
<br />
Once you have the basics down it's finding ways to mix things up. Sandwiches seem to be a staple in most school lunches. They are great but you can even play with those, make a wrap using a tortilla or take away the carb element all together and just wrap meat and cheese in a roll up. Fruits and veggies cleaned and cut up should be a staple in every lunch. My kids enjoy dipping their veggies in ranch so if you need to add a dip for them to eat their veggies, then go for it! Pretzels, goldfish, veggie chips, pita chips are a few of the alternatives to potato chips. <br />

Though it's been around since Maria Montessori opened the first school in Rome, Italy in 1907. The philosophy is still rather new to many parents in the United States. We thought it might be helpful to share some useful resources on the philosophy and how it works.<br />

your child bringing home multiple pieces of their school artwork a
week? Do you have trouble finding a place to store all of it? This is a
common problem in many households, you don’t want to throw away
something your child has spent time and put their heart into creating,
but do you really want to save all of it. There are some good
solutions to this dilemma. One of my favorites is creating an art
portfolio through photographs. Why not create a coffee table book of
your child’s artwork? There are a variety of sites that can help with
this, photo sharing sites such as </span><a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">shutterfly</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">, </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">flickr,</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> and </span><a href="http://www.smugmug.com/"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">smugmug </span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">.
These sites can display the artwork in albums that you can share with
your family. They also have the option to create a photo book using
the images of your child’s artwork.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Something even easier, if you have a smartphone, would be to download the </span><a href="http://www.artkiveapp.com/"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">artkive</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

for each of your children then take a picture, using your phone, and
upload them. The application boosts it’s use with three easy steps:</span><br />

Peanut allergy is a type of food allergy distinct from nut allergies. It is a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction to dietary substances from peanuts causing an overreaction of the immune system which in a small percentage of people may lead to severe physical symptoms. It is estimated to affect 0.4-0.6% of the population. - Wikipedia<br />
<br />
We are proud to be a Nut-Free school, but realize that it comes with restrictions to families who are not used to having to be as aware of food labels. In support of the families in our school we have created a list of helpful resources so you can learn more about Nut allergies. Many of these sources also provide snack ideas and food tips to help out when you are preparing your child's lunch.<br />

Cosmic Montessori School is a unique community of
educators. We represent a variety of cultures that have come together
to create an ideal place for exploration, constructive experiences,
movement, discovery, communication, and friendship. Our campus is very
proud of all of our 'Green' efforts, we aim to be paperless, use organic
cleaning supplies, have an organic garden in our outdoor community and
will continue to expand our efforts. We also provide healthy snacks and
have an optional organic hot lunch for all of our students.<br />
<br />We are a community which believes that education involves the entire
family. In order to achieve our and your goals for your child, Cosmic
Montessori School helps parents, friends and family develop environments
geared towards learning, reinforcing lessons and activities practiced
during the child's school day. We achieve this by focusing on these
principles:<br />
</div>
<ul>
<li> Children take a natural pleasure in learning to master their environment</li>
<li>This mastery is the basis of the sense of competence necessary for independence</li>
<li>Real learning involves the ability to do things for oneself, not the passive reception of a body of knowledge</li>
<li>School must be part of the community and involve the parents if education is to be effective.</li>
</ul>
