Due to the disabilities of my students, I feel that they can benefit from having a mini fridge and microwave in the classroom. Since I work at a Title One school where children come from low-income families, we provide free healthy school meals. A refrigerator will allow me to house fruits/milk that they provide to the students and to keep it healthy by refrigerating it. 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. This also will be a benefit for my students with a Behavior Disability like Emotional Disturbance. This will allow me to spend lunchtime in the classroom with my students. 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.
