Dare to try
Is all begins with “What if…”
from a Montessori directress, with a mind of a scientist.
It was a lunch time, having lunch with the children,
The directress is chewing a matcha flavor cake…then a child said “I like to drink green tea!” and another child said “me too!” The directress said”emmm, we do not have green tea but we have matcha cake. Then she says to the children, ” Hmmm… if this cake is make from genuine green tea, then, what if put it into the hot water, will it make a green tea?”
A child with a speed of light⚡, running back with a cup of hot water and reaching to directress.
With respect to the child’s need, she shares a generous portion of her cake and put into the water.
The child full of excitement, stirring the matcha cake and notice the water turn light green. He shows to his friend. 💧+ 🎂 Have a sip of it and said “wow! Its really taste like green tea!”
Then, BOOM💨! Some guys leaving their seats and gets the hot water.
I was seating and chewing my piece of cake and says, “Mine is orange flavor.”
“Oh! I like orange!” Hearing a sound from another child. Shortly, A piece of orange cake is fragmented for this taste experience.
I was told Orange Cake Juice is acceptable, but the Green Cake Juice is really weird. Meanwhile, the first child who started the test is happily enjoying his Green Cake hot tea.
Directress did try both and Me? “…” 😨
