About the Lunch Timer
Cafeteria chaos often comes from students not knowing how much eat time remains before lining up for recess. The lunch timer presets fifteen and twenty minute eat blocks with a return-to-class reminder styling so aides unify transitions. Classroom picnic days project the same clock on the grass. Homeschool families separate eat from play using visible boundaries that prevent two-hour lingering meals on busy co-op days.
