Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  So many children come to school without eating a healthy breakfast.  The brain is not fed, so it cannot think.  It is so important for children (for everyone too) to be ready to learn first thing in the morning.  Studies have shown that people who eat breakfast function better during the day than those who do not.  If we want our children to succeed in school, they need to be well fed before they arrive.  Children also need to be well hydrated.  As a teacher I often come across children who feel dizzy during the day.  Most of the time, a drink of water was the cure.  Please remind your children they should be drinking enough water throughout the day.
