meats, spreads and fillings:
biscuits, rice cakes, crackers,
tortillas, baked potato skins,
snow peas, celery sticks,
hollowed-out plum tomatoes
and cucumbers, and egg cups
made from hollowed-out hard-
boiled egg halves.
Although sandwiches —
and the sensational alter-
natives just described — are
the leaders in lunch-box fare,
they rarely make for the en-
tire meal. Folks generally
toss in a piece of fruit, some
chips, maybe a dessert — at
least one or two extra items
that make lunch-box offerings
seem more like a meal.
Salads such as pasta and
potato make for nice fillers,
but other salads — such as
Four-Bean Salad — can take
the place of a sandwich for a
meatless and change-of-pace
main course.
In fact, many a successful
lunch consists entirely of a
selection of so-called fillers —
which often are the finger
foods kids so love to eat. Some
suggestions:
• Fill ready-made appetizer
pastry shells with sandwich
fillings such as tuna salad,
salmon salad or pimento
cheese.
• Pack a selection of fresh,
uncooked vegetables with a
dip such as Indian Peanut
Dip, yogurt, hummus, ranch
dressing or cream cheese
blends.
• Soak chunks of fresh fruit
in orange juice to prevent
discoloration, then alternate
with cheese chunks on 5-inch
lengths of wooden skewers.
For an extra-special touch,
pack small container of
yogurt for dipping.
• Pile in the air-popped pop-
corn — flavored with
Parmesan cheese or Cajun
seasoning salt if kids like, or
mixed with pretzels and nuts.
• Mix up some Gorp — or a
customized granola or trail
mix concoction, allowing kids
to decide what goes into it.
Some good options for inclu-
sion: high-fiber breakfast
cereals, pretzels, nuts, dried
fruits, sesame sticks, carob
chips.
• Don't forget desserts. A
couple of relatively healthful
options include Peanut But-
ter and Banana Graham-
Wiches and homemade Mini
Fruit Pies. ❑

Some Academic Tips
For Smart Studying
SHARON WILLIAMS
Special to The Jewish News
U
ndoubtedly, you want
your child to receive
the best education
possible during elementary,
junior high and high school.
And — as a parent — you're
ready to go to bat for him.
But, you're concerned that
if you hit; run and score for
your little one too many times
in terms of homework,
teacher intercommunications
and study enforcement, you'll
send your young student off to
the academic benches
unintentionally.
It's a valid concern, say ex-
perts, since the trick in pro-
moting learning excellence in
a child lies largely in the
parental balance of under-
and overdoing it.
So, no, you probably won't
be doing his homework or go-
ing to school for her.
But, since . the concept of
youngsters going it complete-
ly alone during the school
years largely has gone the
way of the one-room school-
house, you won't be sitting on
the sidelines, either.
Experts say that if you're
willing to work with your
child, you're more than half-
way there.
Following are a few ex-
amples of ways to make a dif-
ference in your child's educa-
tion during these formative
years without overpowering 4
or overwhelming your
4
youthful scholar.
By reading to your child 4
daily as soon as he can sit still
for the experience, you'll in-
still a natural love of books
and teach word recognition —
both of whichwill prove in-
valuable during the school
years.
Many childhood develop-
ment experts say this daily
reading period should con-
tinue through the third grade.
The parental role in super-
vised study should be one of 414
a helpful monitor, say experts.
Begin by seeing that your
child has a consistent time,
and place, to study — a well-
lit, well-stocked place that's
quiet and comfortable.
Then, encourage your child
to write down all homework
assignments in a daily log,
and to bring both the planner
and all the materials 41
necessary to complete the
work home from school each
day.
By checking the planner,
you can see that assignments 1
and tasks are completed and
that any work to be handed in
is in place to arrive at school
the following day.
