School Food in Pictures

It's so hard when children think they are ordering chicken nuggets like mom makes, and then they go to the cafeteria and they end up with something very, very, different. Or maybe they've never heard of a "rib meat sandwich". Having a picture, especially for young children and new students, to show what your school food really looks like helps kids make the best choices they can make. This file includes 48 food choices, most of which my school serves regularly. Click here for the file.

SOME TIPS:
1.  I made lunch choice cards for as many of our regular school menu items as I could remember. If you want to use these and your chicken nuggets look really different from ours, I would make a new card so your students are not surprised, or disappointed.

2.  I used the free font KG Seven Sixteen from dafont.com. 

3.  Be careful and try to make sure your images don't show side items. Some kids might make their decision based on the side item in the picture, and be let down when they are served cooked carrots with their sloppy joe instead of french fries. 

4.  If you teach with me at CES and can think of something I forgot, let me know and I'll add it!

Oh the Job of all Jobs!

I report to pre-planning....NEXT WEEK.

I moved and crammed my classroom into my new classroom in a couple of hours back in May and I haven't been back to work....

I have the job of jobs in front of me, and of course I am racking my brain trying to come up with a way to get help...threats, bribery, begging....there's no shame in this game.

I will have 22 five year old helpers in a short matter of time, so I made a huge list of potential jobs for my job chart. I use a pocket chart with their names. In front of their name is their job, and behind their name is their Trojan G.O.L.D (tokens for our school wide Positive Behavior System).  Kills three birds with one stone and changes out super easy.

I would not suggest introducing all these at once, but slowly. I just made a whole bunch because I really don't know what I'm going to need. :)

If you think of a job that's not listed, let me know!
