Everyday after lunch, the boys get to play "brain games" for 30 minutes (contingent on doing a good job at lunch). We've been playing a lot of banana-grams (which I brought). They can choose any game from a shelf of games, but today they wanted to do Origami. Doing a good job at lunch means: washing hands before, waiting for others to sit before eating, asking to be excused before getting up, keeping conversations appropriate and once you are dismissed- actually leaving the dinning room to do something else appropriate with your time. They have a 1 hour lunch break- which we all eat together, and boy has their behavior been improving!
Lunch is cooked and served by the 2 "helpers" (domestic helpers) and there is usually 10-15 different options on the table- mostly Indian and Japanese food. Lots of tofu and lots of vegetables! Some things are spicy but not everything. It's definitely a perk of the job.
Isn't it called something else when you cut out the shapes?
