Question: In Mrs. Thompson's fifth-grade classroom, she notices that one of her students, Alex, frequently arrives at school late, looking disheveled and fatigued. Alex often exhibits low motivation, lack of engagement in class activities, and complains of stomach pains. Mrs. Thompson becomes concerned and wants to address the situation, recognizing the signs that Alex may be coming to school hungry. Upon further investigation, Mrs. Thompson discovers that Alex's family is facing financial difficulties, making it challenging for them to provide regular meals. As a result, Alex often misses breakfast and arrives at school with an empty stomach. Mrs. Thompson realizes the significant impact this hunger is having on Alex's well-being, behavior, and academic performance. Answer the following questions: Describe the physical symptoms and behavioral changes that Alex exhibits, indicating that hunger may be affecting him. How do these symptoms impact him in the classroom? What resources and support systems can Mrs. Thompson tap into within the school community to assist Alex and his family in securing regular meals? What behavior model(s) would best relate to this scenario? Explain your answer.
