Shop Rite in the Classroom!

On Tuesday, the children went on a field trip to Shop Rite! They were excited about hearing the milk in the coconut, seeing the lobsters, and seeing the inside of the big Shop Rite truck! Trying out the scanner and being a “cashier” was a definite highlight!

When they entered the room on Thursday, it the room was transformed! Instead of block area, there was a floral dept, a dairy dept and nearby, the bakery! At the bakery, the bakers had warm, vanilla scented homemade playdough with which they made cookies, breads, rolls… whatever their imaginations could create!

In the deli department, workers created fun foam sandwiches for their customers.. “Would you like some swiss cheese?”

There were, of course, groceries, produce and a place to check out! The most popular “department,” year after year, has to be the Seafood Department! Fun foam and plastic lobsters float in water… and there were “fish” and clam shells on ice!

Who knew grocery shopping could be such fun?
