How many cookies do 5th graders need in one day?

I love how parents don't read notes that go home. "Tell me if you're sending extra treats, so don't get too many." My students are getting one cookie to take to lunch and the other five, yes five, will go home with them.

In addition to the nerds, candy hearts, kisses, etc.

Valentine's is almost as much of a junk food fest as Halloween! It's no wonder childhood obesity is on the rise.
