There's nothing like the pretend play of preschoolers! Earlier this week the kiddos in our Green Sea Turtles class opened a "restaurant."
On the menu was:
🎃 A whole pumpkin
🌽 Corn
🦞 Lobster
🧁 Cupcakes
🍪 Cookies, which were actually...orange juice, because why not?
Everything was going smoothly until the chefs began enthusiastically sneezing on the food. Their teacher Ms. Anna calmly told the kids she couldn't eat at any restaurant where sneezing was part of the recipe and that she'd need to call the health department.
Perfect timing, our Director of Early Education Ms. Pam walked in, and Ms. Anna said, "Great! The health department is here!" With years of experience working with preschoolers, Ms. Pam didn't skip a beat before stepping into character, ready to "inspect" the "restaurant."
The kiddos all ran toward Ms. Pam then began sneezing on "the health department" herself! At that point, Ms. Pam announced that the health department had no choice but to shut the restaurant down, saying she would be giving them a restaurant grade of F.
The class all cheered, because apparently an F is exactly what they wanted!
So if you happen to be very hungry or very brave, this (pretend) restaurant is now open for business under the name "Birthday Party Restaurant."
