Lunch Box Worries

By Categories: 
If your kiddo eats as little as mine, I'm sure you are really worried about how they are going to handle their lunch at school. From yesterday I've started to put her lunch in her lunch box and make her finish it all by herself. It does take quite a bit of coaxing from my end to get her to finish it. I guess by the end of this month it should be easier for her to handle her lunch.


If you are stuck with what to pack for her lunch and snack box, here are some ideas below


Snacks

  • Raisins, cashew nuts, walnuts, Peanuts, etc,.
  • Carrot sticks, Cucumber slices, French fries
  • Apple slices, Grapes, Banana.
  • Bread sticks with a dip.
  • Dark Chocolates.

Lunch

  • Curd Rice + Egg/Vegetable
  • Fried Rice (Put an egg anda few vegetables into it)
  • Chapatti rolls
  • Poori + Cauliflower/potato
  • Sandwiches (Peanut butter, jam, cheese spread)

Try and keep the recipes simple and use easy to digest ingredients. Make sure your kid knows how to open and close his Lunch/snack box. Teach them how to use a spoon and eat without spills. Also remind them to chew well and finish their lunches.
As long as you strike a bargain between the stuff that your kid likes and healthy food, lunch boxes will be opened with a smile!

The LKG Books have arrived!

By
The books for all classes are generally given out during the last week of April. The kids are all waiting to take a peek into their brand new books for the coming year. The tamil books are the stateboard books and you can download them from the below link http://www.textbooksonline.tn.nic.in/ The CBSE prescribed NCERT books can be found in the below link http://ncert.nic.in/ncerts/textbook/textbook.htm SBOA uses a variety of publishers from Macmillan to Cordova for different subjects and all the books will be provided by the school. For us parents it's a mad rush to finish brown papering the notebooks and binding the textbooks! "Mummy, not the orange paper take the light brown ones, I like them better" with suggestions that sound more like ultimatums, I'm dreaming of the day that they will cover their own books! But according to my wiser father, I might as well give up as he reminds me that he covered my books all through my school years! ...

Term 2 in UKG

By
This has been an eventful term, with loads of extracurricular activities and competitions. They had their annual exhibition "C onnoisseur 2010" and it was a real treat, the amount of work that had gone into it was tremendous, the themes were varied from airports to circus to music. The kids had a great time putting the whole thing together. though parents did most of the work for the junior sections the presentations were done by the kids. This term has seen a lot more writing and reading skills being encouraged, as well as basic calculations in Math. They have a very organized way of handing out homework so we always know what to expect when. The observation would start by the first week of December. And looking forward to the Holidays!

School Days are finally here!

By
School re-opened on the 11th june , the introduction by the Principal was good, except for he fact that the audi was inadequately ventilated. There could have been more fans placed and the windows could have been opened. After a stuffy 45 min session, the kids and the parents were equally exhausted! The classroom visits were better, except again for the crowd. The initial interviews were organized beautifully, just wish the induction was planned as well too..... The whole affair was thankfully over in two hours time.... Hope to have a better experience once the classes start though!
