We had a wonderful time during our brief visit to see breakfast-in-the-classroom in action in Jefferson County, Kentucky. The media event was hosted by Cochran Elementary School, where we were welcomed warmly by staff and students.

You can read our account of our day at Cochran Elementary here; written by School Nutrition Director Julie Abrera, it’s got all the links you need to check out our partners who are working so hard to bring breakfast to the classroom for students in Jefferson County Public Schools. And the pictures are pretty cool, too!

Local CBS affiliate WLKY was on hand to cover the event; view the video, below:

    I would borrow a copy of Harry Wong’s book The First Days of School. It ouenilts methods to get the kids into structured routines they can rely on as part of their day. I spend time on it at the beginning of the year, and I really believe my students are well behaved year after year. Some of the specific things I implement are:1. Going over school-wide rules like hallway, lunchroom, and playground2. Giving jobs to all students that help give them responsibility and relieve you of tasks they can help with.3. Write a class community constitution that consists of three general rules they all want to follow(students brainstorm everything and you help guide them toward three rules that include all of their ideas)4. Treat student with respect and praise them when they accomplish and they in turn will respect you and their classmates.5. Be firm yet have a sense of humor and show them you care6. Never use sarcasm in disciplining students. You’ll regret it.Good luck!
