Brain Food Guidelines:

  • Variety of Options: The provided list of brain foods is diverse, offering a mix of fruits, vegetables, seeds, and whole grains. This variety ensures that students receive a range of nutrients.
  • Personal Snacks: Emphasize the importance of students bringing their own snacks in a named container to avoid any allergies or dietary restrictions. This also encourages responsibility and independence.
  • No Sharing: Reinforce the rule of not sharing snacks to maintain a safe and healthy environment, especially considering potential allergies.
