Kitchen Fun

As in any preschool class, the kitchen is a popular place to play for both girls and boys.  In fact, usually there are more boys in the kitchen than girls.  Don't these girls look like they are having fun - pouring tea, serving little food, setting the table!  Ideally, this is how the kitchen area would be every day.

Ummm, sometimes it gets a little out of control in the kitchen. 

Now, the little girls above were not responsible for this chaos - the culprits shall remain nameless - but the lesson is the same for everybody.  We emphasized that at home parents do not cook food and put it on the floor, nor do they put dishes on the floor.  It will be the same for school.  Dishes and food go on the table, on the stove or in the cabinets.  No one wants to eat food off the floor even when pretending!

How effective is this lesson? 

That is yet to be seen, but we have high hopes!
