As a first grader, Mika doesn’t have any graduation ceremony or end-of-year performance, but her teacher came up with a special project that might be even more memorable: the class opened a pop-up restaurant\/cafe! They researched by interviewing local<\/a> businesses<\/a> about their daily work, then channeled their findings into creating “Bakery Bugs”. The classroom got transformed entirely: a host stand up front to manage the crowd (with cheat sheets for the little hosts), tables set with custom place mats and hand-written menus, hand-painted wall decorations, a waiting area with their own “bug books”, and a cashier counter. With the help of some mom volunteers, the kids baked for two days straight – small batches in the classroom via toaster oven, and the rest finished off at home. The final menu included: banana bread, chocolate chip cookies, scones with butter and jam, mini blueberry muffins, fresh fruit salad, orange juice, hot- and iced coffee. No wonder the restaurant received a solid A rating<\/a>! Even though all items were priced competitively at 50\u00a2 to $1.00 each, they sold $173.00 worth of tasty merchandise in their first – and only – hour of business. The class voted to donate all of their proceeds to their “charity” of choice: the school’s PTA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
