My students do not have access to the school yard during their lunch period and, as a result, many are left with idle time after eating lunch. I frequently counsel students who have had conflicts with peers at lunch or who are frustrated after being removed from class for impulsive and inappropriate behavior during this unstructured time.
Providing my students with engaging, stimulating, and mess-free art activities they can bring with them to the cafeteria will help to minimize the boredom and impulsivity that causes students to act out in their free time after lunch, and to build social skills like cooperation, communication, and turn taking instead.
This will build morale and minimize conflict school wide.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
