[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Send lunch! No five year old know how to navigate the chaos of lunch lines. Everyone knows this, what's wrong with you?[/quote]

The teachers and lunch ladies are there to help the first week.  Everyone I talked to encouraged me to have DD buy lunch at least once the first week of school while there were people available to help.  She did, without issues.[/quote]

Now I'm conflicted (I'm a NP).  I also have a kid starting K soon.  I was going to have her buy lunch at first, since I assumed there'd be more help the first few days.  I want her to learn to navigate the line and how it all works since I'd prefer she buy than me pack lunch.  But now this thread has me thinking I need to pack her lunch!  Her school is big (5 or 6 classes a grade) and I'm not sure if they are alone or with other classes when they eat....[/quote]

Wait until day 3 or 4 and have her buy lunch.  Make sure she knows she's buying and make sure she knows to ask the aide for help if she doesn't know what to do.  Maybe even send a note to the teacher saying she's buying lunch for the first time today and may need help.[/quote]
