Teachers (hungry?)

Abinormal · August 2009

Alright, so today is my first day back to school with the students. So far I have been able to snack whenever I am hungry, but now that I have kiddos all day long I won't have time to eat between breakfast and lunch. What are yall doing to help curb the hunger during the day? I get so hungry, so fast and it really affects my mood. I don't want the kids to think I am super crabby all the time, but I worry about my energy levels and attitude. Any solutions? TIA!

You can't keep crackers or something small you can pop in your mouth at your desk?

Eat. Honestly, while I'm teaching I plan to have snacks ready to eat while working. When you're talking about someone's health I say it's perfectly acceptable to just eat and teach.

I have a snack 3rd period, everyday. My kids understand, in fact if I even mention I'm hungry, they are all over me to "feed the baby" I teach high school.

I used to eat string cheese and nilla wafers in between classes. I taught high school. Usually I would be stuffing them in my mouth on the way to the bathroom b/c by the end, I did have to pee every 50 minutes (the duration of a class period)

Definitely eat! I just finished summer school and told my kids I had to eat all the time so the baby wouldn't get too hungry (I teach 1st grade). They were always telling me it was the baby's snack time. I usually kept a fruit, some peanut butter crackers, and/or trail mix with me at all times.
