1st gRaDe lunch count and attendance:

My first grade cooperating teacher made a wall hanging with three paper plates. Each of the students have a clothespin with their names printed on them. When they come into the room their clothespins are on the top plate. One of their "morning jobs" is to move their clothespin to their lunch choice. The next paper plate is divided in half. Each half is a different color and contains a pocket where the teacher puts a small card with the lunch choice and a picture of the choice. (ex. mandarin chicken, picture of chicken on rice). The third paper plate is a home lunch option. Each day, before 9 AM, the teacher stands by the computer and the "student helper" stands across the room by the lunch count. The student helper reads the lunch count and tells the teacher the number of students eating what, so she can quickly Instant Message the cafeteria with the lunch count. The teacher also can ask the student helper who is absent and quickly take attendance.

    Mrs. Longfellow had another time saving trick. She would begin her IM every morning before the students got to the classroom so that she would only have to fill the numbers of students in and not have to type the whole message. This saves a few minutes of precious first grade time.
