Holy Cross School Throws Tea Parties
The Pre-K class at Holy Cross Episcopal spent a week learning about the letter T. The children learned a plethora of words that started with T. One day the word “tea party” came up and Pre-K teacher Lucy Fleming noticed the blank stares on her students’ faces. Her four-year-olds had no clue what a tea party was. So the plan began to teach her children about tea parties. On January 24, Fleming read the story Spider Has a Tea Party to her class. Before class began, she had prepared a table complete with tablecloth, china tea set, and sterling silver spoons. The children participated in a lesson on manners before going to the table. As they placed their napkins in their laps, they watched their teacher use the teapot to pour hot peppermint tea into their cups. The children enjoyed small cupcakes, cookies, mints, and buttered toast. Mollie Daniels is shown at the tea party. 27
