Photos of What Middle Eastern Mothers Send to School in Third-Graders’ Snacks

We have no lunchroom, so our kids eat lunches outside in the play area. They eat their morning snacks at their own desks in our classroom. Both of these they bring from home.

Are you curious what the kids bring packed from home in our Middle Eastern country? Today, I walked around the classroom and took pictures of a few of the kids’ mid-morning snacks that looked particularly delicious.

Some mothers send fruit snacks:

Fresh Figs, Banana, and Nectarine

Some other examples:

Red Grapes with Honeydew (side), and Fresh Watermelon with Yellow Apple Slices (below)

Mixture of Sweet, Hard Biscuit with White Raisins; Homemade Pizza with Tomato Sauce, Cheese, Zucchini, and Green Bell Pepper

Homemade Doughnuts with Tiny “Petite Swisse” Yogurts (above)

Petite Swisse Yogurts come in three fruit flavors, and are made with 40 percent fat, as if they are made from pure whipping cream. Unbelievably delicious.

Cookies with an Orange Juice Drink

Of course, other popular snacks include whole bags of potato chips, small cakes and cookies out of store-bought individual packages, juice-based drinks, and yogurt-based milk drinks. Sometimes kids bring popcorn. Carbonated drinks and candy are forbidden at school.
