We are learning through even the smallest activities at school. We even learn at snack time! Each day we wash hands, then go into the cafeteria, where each child chooses a carton of milk. They can choose from chocolate or white milk.
We then make our way to the table, where each child opens their own milk carton. This is a very valuable skill for elementary school! Everyone was able to open their own carton, then the school switched providers and the cartons are more difficult to open! Teachers help students open their milk, or they ask a friend sitting next to them for assistance. It is awesome to see them helping each other. They have very big hearts!
We also practice good table manners, keeping our voices quiet, and how to remain sitting on the stool. This is not as easy as you may think! The stools just begg to be stood on, twirled on, and kicked! The large room seems like a great place for running and yelling! We try very hard to show them the cafeteria rules, so they are prepared when they are in Kindergarten, and come to the cafeteria for breakfast and/or lunch.
