There is always a moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.
-Graham Greene
"What if lunchtime could be more than a meal?" asks Betty Piedra in an article that forms the basis of an "Out of the Box" Training Kit called "Mealtime Observation."
"Lost amidst the chaos and confusion of a typical preschool classroom at lunchtime are important moments of observable growth and development," Piedra explains. "Because lunch is both an independent task and a social event, it offers a unique chance to study children in action...We can take advantage of this observation-rich time by planning ahead, recognizing opportunities for observation across developmental areas, and using our observations for individual assessment."
Looking for effective, affordable, easy-to-implement training to inspire staff or college students? Designed to meet the needs of 21st century adult learners, Out of the Box Training Kits are ready-to-use professional development programs on a variety of contemporary topics to support and improve the skills and pedagogy of those who work with young children.

A great observation for viewing children's school mealtime independence, along with their social abilities.
