So….for the tea party, I asked the children to dress up fancy if they would like. I will provide apple juice for the tea. We will drink from little tea cups!!! We will also have a special tea sandwich for a snack. This is going to be a great memory making opportunity for not only enjoying each other’s company with 5 and a half school days remaining, but also for practicing using our manners at a table.
