Due to the noise in the cafeteria, our students eat breakfast and lunch in the classroom. Eating together builds a great rapport and trust. Building rapport is a key cornerstone of effective classroom management. Genuine, behavior-influencing rapport is created organically. It comes to you, by student choice, through your warm and friendly personality. Eating lunch with students can speed up this process because it embeds you in their territory, frames you in a new and different light, and draws students into your realm of influence. It proves that every day is a new day and connects the less connected. Its all about relationships and building a rapport with your students by eating lunch with them is where it starts. This refrigerator will help me provide choices and teach the benefits of eating healthy snacks. The refrigerator will allow us to keep juice and milk cold each day for our students. I often throw away leftover fruit/milk that can be saved for a student coming into class late. These items will allow my students to always have a healthy option available and not have to go without breakfast/lunch. The microwave will allow us to reheat food for my students, and to also provide snacks in the afternoon such as popcorn.
Having a mini refrigerator and microwave in our classroom enables us to have immediate access to important materials for my students.
