When I Eat Lunch at School

By: Rachel Lutz

Setting: MOD Elementary Class

When I eat lunch at school it is important to have good table manners. People will enjoy eating with me if I have good table manners.

*insert real picture of school

First, I sit patiently and quietly at my seat and wait for my teacher to bring my food, spoon, fork, napkin, and water. If I get my own food, I put it on the table and sit patiently and quietly until it is time to eat.

After my teach sets my plate in front of me I will pick up my fork or spoon and eat a small bite of food.

I will chew my food with my mouth closed and wait until I have swallowed my food until I take a sip of my drink.

I am chewing with my mouth open!That is not good manners because

people don’t want to see my chewed up food!

If I have to say something, I will chew and swallow my food because it is not polite to talk with food in my mouth.

I will do this until I am done eating. When I am finished with my food I will first wipe off my mouth, second throw any trash away, and third clean up my area at the table by picking up crumbs and wiping the table off.

Now I am all done with lunch!
