Today, we say goodbye to this school year and send our third-years on their way to Upper Elementary. It is always a bitter-sweet day. To soften the transition, we celebrate with pancakes!
Each cooperative group works together one last time to make breakfast and then sits down at the table to eat together and celebrate their year of learning exploration.
With the support of parent volunteers, the children make scrambled eggs,
pancakes,
and real whipped cream to top fresh strawberries.
The children get the opportunity to tackle challenges such as whisking (and more whisking...and more whisking),
cracking eggs,
measuring ingredients,
and flipping pancakes.
The reward for their labor is to sit down and enjoy each other's food and company.
Meanwhile, another group begins cooking.
When one group is finished eating, they work together to clear and set the table for the next group.
On this special day, children are invited to get comfy with pillows and books for a read-a-thon
or enjoy board games and other non-electronic fun.
