You have received several letters from the parents in your classroom stating that their children suffer from various food allergies. Additionally, parents have been sending requests to accommodate cultural preferences and even children’s likes and dislikes. In the PDF titled “Parent’s Letter”, you will find letters that parents have written to you as the teacher requesting dietary accommodations. Read each of the parents’ letters and create a list of children and their food issues that you can record in your notes to refer to each month. You will create a monthly menu (two snacks each day and lunch) to accommodate these requests. Each week will also include a theme that will include three questions as conversation topics for your children.

In addition, you will also create the following policies that surround common scenarios in the classroom:

A policy to address food brought in from the outside (remember that some children have food allergies and may be allergic to the food that is brought in).

A policy to address a parent’s request to bring in birthday treats.

A policy to address children who refuse to eat.
