Children's Etiquette - October 2011

I've had such a wonderful time with this group of darling children.  This Sunday, they will celebrate at the wonderful Francesca's Italian Kitchen for the Graduation Dinner.  Look for follow-up pictures of our Halloween Tablescape for this event.

This was "Patriotic Tablescape Day".  The children really enjoy a different tablescape each class and we talk about it to engage them in cultural conversation.  The dining lesson focused on dessert, utilizing the dessert fork and dessert spoon.

At this lesson, the kids REALLY had a fun time donning our Mardi Gras masks and discussing the famous New Orleans holiday.  Students practiced their utensil skills today with the serving of a salad and grilled pork roast.

The children enjoy the "soup lesson" on our "Beachcombers Tablescape Day".

On our "Safari Tablescape Day", the students practice holding their stemware by the "bowl" of the glass to avoid accidents at the table.  Adults get a different lesson in this technique.
