MEALTIMES
Different schools handle mealtimes in different ways. Some schools offer early care in the morning. These
schools usually provide breakfast for their students. Other schools often provide an in-class snack in the late
morning. Do your best to keep the school from giving students junk food. Young children need small, healthy
snacks throughout the day.
Almost all schools provide lunches for their students. Usually, teachers escort their students to a cafeteria to
eat. Many cafeterias serve an optional hot lunch each day. Give your students a calendar showing when different
meals are served. Students may also bring their own lunches. Most schools don’t offer family style meals. But all
schools should provide utensils.
In many schools, students are allowed to go outside after lunch. Keep an eye on your students. Don’t allow
them to leave the cafeteria too early. It’s important that they finish most of their food.
