When my helpers take attendance, if a picture is still showing we know that person is absent. Each day when the kids come in the first thing they do is place their apple in front of their picture showing whether they have hot or cold lunch. Behind each picture is a cardboard apple cut-out that has HOT on one side and COLD on the other. I display them in a pocket chart (it usually takes about 5 rows on the chart). I take a picture of each of my students on the first day of school.
There are no excuses like, “I didn’t know what a Walking Taco was!” This works very well for me >) (Lori Andree) This also prevents children from changing their minds when they get to the lunch room. I rarely get any questions like “What is a Walking Taco?” The children can see exactly what it looks like. When the children enter the classroom, they walk to the board, look at the photos and make their choice accordingly. Over the years, I have taken photographs of the hot lunch choices our school offers. Then they locate their name and place it under the appropriate picture. When they unpack in the mornings, they go over to the board and look to see what is for lunch. Each child also has their name with a magnet on it. I put a small piece of magnetic stip on the back for each. I have cut pictures out of magazines and laminated them. I am lucky to have a magnetic white board in my room.
