First Grade Lunchtime Wisdom

For Andrea and myself, each day at Joyner lunchtime looks, feels, smells and sounds vastly different.   This variety is due, in part, to Lunch Bunch.  Most days during the week Andrea and I have lunch scheduled with a student who is then able to bring two friends along.  First grade lunches are often full of laughter and giggles.  Fifth grade lunches are typically calmer, but I use the word “typically” with caution.  Whichever grade the students are in, the lunches are always entertaining and enjoyable.  Students tend to feel comfortable enough to let their hair down in the counseling office, as they should, and thus there personalities thrive.  I have many fond memories and stories related to these lunches.  This is something, among many others, that I intend to keep as part of my future counseling program.

To sum it up, as one 1^st grader said last fall, “It’s so loud in here, I can’t even taste my smarties!”
