Friday poem: The Ready Table
Bring the candle, carry broth.
Everyone gives, and everyone sees,
A family feast is made by these.
- Set the room: choose flowers, cloth napkins, and a candle for the table.
- Breakfast: serve pancakes or French toast with berries. Let children set butter or fruit.
- Circle: sing Lavender's Blue or a table blessing.
- Story: read Stone Soup. Ask what each person brought.
- Reading: F words: feast, flower, family, fork.
- Math: set places, count forks, divide rolls, read the clock for supper.
- Copywork: We make the table ready with care.
- Making: arrange flowers, choose napkins, make a place card, or set one beautiful place.
- Outside: gather greenery or choose one flower for the table.
- Evening: family feast, candles, no rushing.
