Students will build empathy for guests and community partners by tasting breads, noticing what makes people feel welcome, observing how grain becomes bread, and practicing early hosting talk and routines. They will gather evidence from real people and shared experiences, then capture what they learned in simple drawings, dictation, and class charts that guide later design work.

Students will sort evidence from their early bread and hosting experiences, identify what guests need to feel welcomed, and turn those ideas into a simple class problem statement for the feast. They will use pictures, talk, drawing, and feedback to define what they are trying to make, for whom, and what success should look like before moving into idea generation.

Students will use what they learned about guests, bread, and hosting needs to brainstorm many possible dinner-party solutions, sort ideas by what would help real guests most, and choose promising plans for invitations, conversation supports, and feast setup.

Students will turn their ideas into first drafts for the feast experience by building early versions of invitations, table pieces, tasting labels, and hosting routines. They will use mentor texts, models, role-play, and peer feedback to make design choices that help real guests feel welcomed, informed, and cared for.

Students will test their draft dinner-party materials and hosting routines with peers and younger guests, gather evidence about what helps people feel welcomed, and use that feedback to strengthen conversation, writing, table displays, and cleanup plans before the next revision phase.

Students will use feedback from kindergarten guests, classmates, and adults to improve their invitations, hosting routines, table displays, and cleanup plans before the family feast. They will study what worked, name what guests need, revise their work, and show readiness through a final practice checkpoint.

Students will document how their bread-making and hosting work changed over time, share evidence from the kindergarten practice dinner and family feast, revise selected artifacts for exhibition folders, and present what they learned about welcoming others with hands and hearts.
