Lunch,+SSR

media type="custom" key="5648101" At the middle school, you split one period between SSR (Sustained Silent Reading) and lunch. In the middle school, there is no recess, so we read instead. __Lunch periods:__ So, lunches that the seventh graders could have are periods 5 and 7. The way the periods are split are that you could have lunch first and then SSR, or have SSR first and then lunch. The two groups slightly over lap each other in the lunch room, so at least the students get a fairly long lunch.
 * 5 (seventh and eighth graders)
 * 6 (eighth graders only)
 * 7 (seventh graders only)

__What is Lunch Like?__ At CYMS, the lunchroom is filled with many tables. The first lunch group (Lunch, then SSR) gets half of the room, and the second lunch group (SSR, then Lunch) gets the other half of the room. Before lunch officially starts, the students line up in the student commons outside the lunch room and wait for the lunch aids to wave them in. There are two lines, the main platter line, and the other line. The other line includes hot/cold sandwiches, salad, leftovers (only on some days), vegetarian lunch, soup, and bag lunch. There are also many other things that come with it. After getting lunch, students would pay for it (need to know pin number!) and sit down in the appropriate area. After lunch, the lunch aids dismiss students, one table at a time. After dismissed, students dump their lunch trays, grab their stuff, and silently head back to class.

__What is SSR Like?__ For SSR, all that happens is that students read silently for a specific amount of time.
