THE CLASSROOM
WHAT IS LUNCH
BUNCH?
Lunch bunch is a program
designed with the purpose of
promoting academic and
behavioral success among atrisk students (Frieberg &
Poster, 2012).
A lunch bunch is time for students
to get to know each other and
teachers on a different level.
Lunch bunch is seen as an
innovative and exemplary
program that involves
students, teachers, and
community members
(Quezada, 2003, p. 147).
IMPLEMENTATION/ HOW IT
WORKED IN MY CLASSROOM
It was great!
I held my first lunch bunch on Friday, February 6,
2015. This date corresponded with my taking over
of the classroom.
I targeted the students that we are unsure about
their home life and the ones not doing as well in
school.
