In the first few weeks of school as all teachers are going over procedures for the new year. As all good teachers know procedures make your life and the lives of your students much easier. Procedures taught early on in the year so that they will be instilled in their little minds as they grow. These videos could be shown school wide during the morning show (that the students put on). Or it could be shown during your own class time as you go over procedures. Anytime is a great time to introduce hand washing videos, especially with the cold and flu season starting.
Lunchroom procedures seem to be the hardest to teach. You would think that most students would know how to conduct themselves in a lunch room. Well surprise, welcome to elementary school. Most students don't have a problem, except when they get around their peers and want to act up. So by showing this video, in all classes the lunchroom can be a better experience for all students, teachers and visitors. By showing students what we expect of them, it should be no surprise to them when they are corrected if needed.
