We tried to overcome our sadness from the cancelled field trip with stories about food. (Food seems to cheer me up, so this book choice makes sense to me.)
First, we watched a storytelling video of the classic book, Strega Nona.
We loved it. We talked about the setting, characters, plot, and themes found in the story. We learned that you need to LISTEN. I knew I loved this book!
Next, we watched the telling of Stone Soup. Again we learned such valuable lessons.
Finally, we finished our restaurant simulation. This time we switched roles. Our restaurant was called School Kids' Party Place and Burgers. We had lovely hostesses, servers, chefs, and cashiers. But the place was a bit messy. I think the health office might have closed us down if they would've seen the kitchen.
Next week, I believe we will be participating in the famed cardboard city. So get out those big boxes and start designing. Maybe you could build a replica of School Kids' Party Place and Burgers or maybe Cinco de Mayo?!!!
