Restaurant Days!



We are learning all about healthy eating and nutrition.  The students have decided that they wanted to set up a restaurant and serve real food.  They are still in the early stages of planning but I wanted to give you some of the details that we have so far.   

There are 8 children in each group and there are 3 groups.  They are responsible for planning a healthy meal, using all four food groups, to serve to the class.  They will need to come up with a menu and restaurant name.  They will be in charge of bringing and preparing the food, setting up, serving, and clean up.  The planning will all be done at school but we need you to take your child shopping for a few groceries near their assigned date.  Your child will not need to bring a lunch on Restaurant Day since we will be having lunch in the classroom. 

Some ideas have been: a soup and grilled cheese restaurant, pizza restaurant, taco restaurant, and sandwich and smoothie shop. 

We are trying to keep it simple and still have fun!  The children are all very excited about it and have many ideas to share.  They are learning how to work cooperatively in a group which is a very useful skill!

Restaurant Days and groups are:
Group 1: May 3rd:  Grady, Maguire, Akshan, Armaan, Declan, Kade, Karson, Isaac,
Group 2: May 9th: Heather, Ally, Hallie, Brodie, Brighton, Zoe S., Emily, Aspen,
Group 3: May 16th: Ethan, Rheanna, Zoe B., Hee Joo, Chira, Kayin, Braxton, Connor,

Please email or send a note if you have any questions or concerns regarding Restaurant Days!
