I am writing to you to request an extension of our lunch period by 30 minutes. I am requesting this because I feel that our current lunch is too short of a time. Lunch is not only a time for us to eat, but it is also a time for us to connect with friends and make connections. Connection is one of the most important aspects of supporting a student's bright future and with the current lunch time that we have, there is barely any time for students to make friends. On top of that, student connections help bring a sense of belonging to students, and if there’s not a sense of belonging, then our performance in school will be down. Lunch should be extended because of the health benefits it can bring. In an article by the King County Schools Program, “Arundel High …show more content…
By giving us more lunchtime, you are giving us more time to eat and a chance to refresh our minds and create a community with our friends. Moreover, increased lunchtime can lead to better nutritional values and also a more clean environment for our lunch area. “Studies have shown that providing more time for lunch is associated with the following: Increased consumption of food and key nutrients, Increased selection of a fruit, Increased consumption of fruits and vegetables, lunch entrée, and milk, and Decreased plate waste.”(CDC). Students with a time limit to eat lunch rush to a line and shove food in their mouth, which causes more stress and anxiety and causes more calorie consumption. But by giving us more lunch time, you can help create a more clean lunch environment, and, you’ll cause less stress, which also leads to a longer lifespan. However, some say that shorter lunch periods allow for longer class periods, which in turn allows students to learn
breakfast and lunch have become free. Due to this offer students at the Hudson High School eat lunch because it is free, however they do not like it and discard twenty five percent of it. I established a survey to send out to the students at Hudson High and was amazed at the reponses. However the results were not surprising. Students at the Hudson High School have lunch in light of the fact that it is free, on the other hand they don't care for it and throw it away. Upon walking to lunch one sees the
that nothing other than herself, her thoughts and feelings, expresses who she is. I agree with Isabel Archer that one should be seen for how one acts or thinks, but I also agree with Madame Merle that what we chose to surround ourselves with is an extension of oneself. Madame Merle states, “There’s no such thing as an isolated man or woman; we’re each made up of some cluster of appurtenances.” Madam Merle’s definition of the self takes into count one’s actions, hobbies, and belongings. We see examples

A successful student-athlete is like a unicorn: they’re rare and magical in action. They somehow achieve outstanding sports results, stay at the top of their classes, and have a vibrant social life. You can usually find them in one of three places: in class, their athletic location of preference, or the cafeteria. Successful student-athletes often have convoluted concepts of sleep. If they’re not waking up at the crack of dawn for morning practice, they’re pulling all nighters to finish an essay
experience grow on me, and it did. I did fall into a very valuable self-examination while there, looking at my own chosen profession and seeing tremendous validation, but for reasons that I had not previously examined. I noticed how much I was affected by students calling me “Sensei”, my teacher, a verbal recognition and acknowledgment of the honor and value placed on the title “Teacher”, something that I do not think I have yet experienced in my own home country. The very nature of either being a teacher

changes to their work schedules. Vacations are shortened resulting in shorter family bonding time. High school students would have conflicts with summer jobs. They will not have to whole summer off and could only work in short breaks during the school year. In order for some schools to change their schedules, school bus transportation and other costs need to be considered. Student drop-out rates may increase since they are in school for a longer term. They can experience extreme tiredness and

As the facilitator of the group my job is to show students where to look but not what to see (Alexandra K.Trenfor). As an early childhood educator my job is not to simple play with children. I must plan, provide and supervise all while “playing” with my students. The classroom serves as the physical environment for the children for most of their waking hours. These classrooms need to be attractive and function
behaviors. When teachers systematically implement class-wide interventions, teacher-student interactions become more positive, students are more engaged, and teachers are able to focus on teaching appropriate behaviors (Conroy, Marsh, Snyder, & Sutherland, 1987). The Good Behavior Game (GBG) is a contingency group game designed to improve the teachers ability to define tasks, set rules and discipline students, reduce disruptive aggressive, off-task and shy behaviors in elementary aged children
now considered overweight or obese (Ogden 2011). The argument as to whether or not schools should be able to sell junk food is a highly controversial topic. More than half the population in each school in the U.S purchases lunch from their school cafeteria. Also, many students in elementary schools don’t know the difference between the right and wrong thing to eat so they rely on their school to feed them. Sugar-filled snacks, sugary drinks, and snacks high in saturated fat are a favorite among children

As an educator it is essential for us to have a strong philosophy. Teachers must exemplify clear goals and standards for their students. It is important because students and parents must understand what it is they are trying to accomplish. Teachers must have a strong stance on how to address different learning styles, how to present curriculum, the teachers roles and importance in the learning process, how to effectively manage a classroom, the reasons and goals for education and more. The goal of

Although Dr King and Malcolm X goals are the same, but their method or

Question: If you had given students 15-20 minutes after your lesson discussion to do their homework and a student puts his head down on his desk, what would you do or say? Response: “If a student places his or her head down on the desk instead of starting a homework assignment, I would tell the student that (s)he can do the next assignment I prepared instead of the homework assignment, since it was to be done at
