STAR Quality Expectations
Week 10: I am Safe in the Cafeteria
I will keep my hands and feet to myself; I will keep food on my tray; I will ask an adult before leaving the table; and I will walk to clear my tray
Tell-Show-Practice-Feedback-Reteach
Tell: Read the weekly expectation from matrix. Discuss the rationale behind our expectation. (Being safe is a part of being a star quality learner. When we are safe in the cafeteria, careless accidents won’t occur and we can have a peaceful lunch .)
Show: Invite a small group of students to model being safe when having lunch in the cafeteria. Discuss with the class what they saw, and why it was a model of being safe in the cafeteria.
Practice: Role play-What does being safe in the cafeteria look like?
Example: George is waiting in line for his lunch. He picks his lunch tray up with two hands and notices a spill on the floor. He walks to his table and tells one of the adults in the room about the spill.
Non-Example (TEACHER MODEL): Jordan and Gina see a spill on the floor and decide to slide through it instead of walking around it.
Feedback: Continue to look for students who are showing our expectation of being safe in the cafeteria. Pass out star cards using positive performance feedback.
Reteach Ideas:
· Use morning announcements as a discussion launch pad to remind students how to be safe in the cafeteria by following rules without reminders, being honest and following transition routines.
· Brainstorm what it means to be a safe student. Write these guidelines on the board. Have the children make posters of these behaviors to put on around the school.
· Write about someone you think is very safe. What do you like about that person?
