Lunch in the Cafeteria

Eating lunch in a big, loud room. Read it together, at your pace. Every page is written in your child's voice.

1. At lunchtime, I eat in the cafeteria. It is a big room with many tables.
2. The cafeteria can be very loud. Many kids talk at once. Trays clatter.
Sounds bounce around the big room. There are many smells from different foods.

3. I get my food or open my lunchbox. I find a seat. I can sit with a friend or by myself.
4. I eat at my own speed. I do not have to talk while I eat. I can just eat.
5. A kid sits down next to me.
What could happen next?
  • They want to chat with me.
  • They just want a seat and eat quietly.
  • They ask about my lunch.
  • We don't know yet — and that's okay.
💡 People sit near us for many reasons. I don't have to guess. I can just be friendly at my own speed.
6. When lunch is over, I clean up my spot. I throw away my trash. Then I line up with my class. Lunch is done until tomorrow.
