GrNo arrives with his army green backpack, with snack enclosed and a water bottle. He generally brings a variety of FunkoPop figurines from home, also inside his backpack.

Once he removes shoes, bids his home adult farewell, and is greeted by an Indie Adult, he enters the classroom.

Once inside the classroom he is given his green chewie necklace which is imperative to his comfortability while in the classroom.

GrNo generally arrives having just eaten lunch/snack. Thus his packed snack is suggestive rather than mandatory.

He has a clear multi-compartment snack box that houses his juice, crackers, chewy bar and any other misc. home-sent snacks and he is offered snack multiple times throughout the PM session.
