One of the first pages I created to help facilitate classroom management was a lunch count page in SMART Notebook™. As the students enter the classroom each morning and begin their morning tasks of turning in homework and notes, putting away their bags and coats, sharpening pencils, etc. they take 3 seconds to read the hot lunch option and drag the textbox with their name to the meal they’d like for the day. When the students have settled into their seats to work on spelling, I can glance at the SMART Board™ and clearly see how many students selected each lunch option and who is absent.

Wow, your school has a lot of choices for lunch! 😉 And, instant graph! I don’t have a SmartBoard, but this looks more fun than moving nametags on the side of a filing cabinet, even if the kids do get to decorate them themselves. 😉
How do you send this to the cafeteria? Via e-mail?
This SMART page is simply a way for classroom teachers to organize the information. Our school district has a website/portal to record attendance and lunch count. One of the secretaries gathers this data from the site and shares it with the cooks in the cafeteria each morning.
