Graduation Speech : Students Walk Through The Door

It is important for children and staff to participate fully in family style meals, eating at a leisurely pace. Please make sure that children sit together as a group to eat, like a family sits at the table at home to eat. Children should wash their hands in preparation for the meal, participate in setting the table, and assist in placing the serving bowls on the table. The children should be sitting down to eat at the scheduled meal times: 8:30 for Breakfast, 11:30 for Lunch, and 2:00 for Snack and subsidy Snack at 2:30. Children are encouraged to eat at a leisurely pace and allowed approximately 30 minutes after the meal service begins to complete their meal. Children with disabilities, slow eaters, and very hungry children may need additional time to consume their meals. Teachers should be a good role model, sitting down with the children, encouraging them to try new foods, sharing the same meal as the children. They can encourage them by asking the children what the food tastes like, such as sweet or salty. When children are finished with their meal, they should be allowed to leave the table and proceed to help clean up. Teachers and children explore the importance of taking care of

Morning Meeting: Students will walk into the classroom, hang up their bags and jackets then eat their breakfast.

Sometimes kids don’t have time to eat breakfast in the morning because, they may be late for the bus, they get up late and don’t pick up breakfast on the way to school or leaving out of the house and their parents don’t cook.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day is a long standing saying that is believed by most, but is often misconstrued that anything for breakfast will work, which is wrong. Most sugary cereals that children love, are a terrible breakfast, contrary to what the hundreds of commercials try to imply. A good breakfast will incorporate all colors of the food pyramid and will be know as “brain foods” like fruits, nuts, and avocadoes. Breakfast should be something to wake you up in the morning, and give you energy for the first half of your day, not give you a sugar rush that will set you on course for a sugar induced crash

There are different methods of implementing a program that provides food in the classroom such as “grab and go” where students get their breakfast in the cafeteria and take it into the classroom. No matter what the method is, all of the SBP menu guidelines must be followed. Another method would be delivering hot or cold food in containers into the classroom. This method makes breakfast more accessible and convenient (Creighton, 2002). The last method would be the standard model which is serving breakfast in the cafeteria. This method requires the least amount of labor (Hilleren, 2007).

Of the respondents who did eat in the morning, they were asked what their “go-to” breakfast was. The results varied abundantly from donuts to nutrition drinks. Majority of respondents ate donuts with 25%, and the second most was waffles with 18%. The results and responses of the students and teachers are presented below.

The key is being prepared to implement strategies that allow the teacher to make a great impression on the students on the first day of school. On the first day, write the day one schedule on the board, flip chart, or transparency. Make sure you greet the students individually as they enter your classroom. Make sure you get students attention as soon as the bell rings. Communicate the essential classroom information in the first ten minutes Teach an attention signal, then teach the expectations, orient students to the posted day one schedule, and begin using the three-step process for communicating your expectations. Step 1 is teaching the expectations. Step 2 is observing student behavior. Step 3 is providing student feedback on the implementation of expectations.

The school breakfast program is where preschool kids can start the day with good breakfast. Studies have shown feeding children a nutritious breakfast increases their school performance, nutrition intake, and overall health while decreasing obesity, discipline problems, and illnesses. There is concern that children might be coming to school without eating breakfast and still not be participating in the school breakfast program for variety of reasons, including a perceived stigma associating school breakfast participating with poverty. Breakfast is an important meal and several studies appear to link the consumption of nutritious breakfast to improved dietary status and school performance. One approach to increasing participation

I will make my class welcoming by decorating the walls. I will have one bulletin board with standards and related curriculum. I will have another bulletin board with student examples. I will decorate my door according to seasons. The class schedule, rules, word wall, and posters will be hung on the wall.

Consumption of a well-balanced nutritional breakfast linked to improving the quality of attention, alertness, and other dexterities associated with a student’s academic performance is in question.
