Today, the 2B Family Friendly Restaurant was open for business in honor of Parents’ Day! Our class had fun handing our menus and food orders and their parents had such a nice time being waited on by such attentive and loving staffers. It was a morning to remember!
For the past two weeks, the 2B class has tirelessly talked about food, restaurants, and the community. We've moved past fire fighters to police officers, construction workers, dentists, doctors, mommies, daddies, teachers, chefs, waiters, superheroes to even cats and dogs. Our play has become increasingly complex and diversified and we are asking so many critical thinking questions as we form bonds and empathy in our relationships with our classmates and teachers. Sharing food and toys has become a regular phenomenon as well as taking care of each other and our environment. This week we even perfected walking safely in a straight line around the school, thanks to the idea of slurping up the line like a skinny straw (yay, slurping smoothies for giving Hillary that magical metaphor - it worked)! This week, Hillary saw three friends just talking to each other in the gym. They held a solid, long, and logical conversation when they could've chosen to run and play wildly instead. And just today, the 2B friends as an cohesive group, decided on their own to hold an impromptu show and tell. They used whatever objects they could think of quickly and excitedly - critical thinking on the spot - and no one was sad if they did not have a toy from home. In fact, coming up with creative choices on the spot was super fun! Our friends, relationships, and community have become so important to us as we continue our development. We grow up so fast it's amazing!
