After this is done, it demonstrates how dinosaurs really eat their food politely. How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food by Jane Yolen and Mark Teaque goes through all the sceniros about how dinosaurs could eat their food rudely. If their picture reflects a bad choice or bad behavior, then I would ask them to draw me another picture or write how they would change it to make it a good choice. Some options would be for students to draw the good behaviors discussed in the book, write about their experiences in the lunch room or draw a picture. I would start it on a Monday and then read it everyday before lunch as a reminder and also as way to start a mini lesson. It's a cute book, but my hope would be that after discussing it further and really going into detail on the expectations of the whole class that we may have some of those good behaviors roll-over into their lunchtime. All the impolite behaviors described in the book are what I am currently dealing with so I would more than likely read this book about half and hour before lunch as a read aloud, so we could read the book and then discuss the different behaviors described in the book. They have had a very difficult time in the lunchroom and could use the gentle reminder on what the expectations are of them in the lunchroom. I hate to admit it, but this would most definitely be a perfect book to read to my K1 class.
