This year we will continue to use cooking as a tool in our classroom
to teach our students many valuable skills including reading
recipes/following picture recipes, following directions,
cooperation, measuring and working with various cooking items, and
other basic cooking skills they can use now and later in life. Our
students have really enjoyed the opportunity to make a variety of
recipes, including many from other countries. When making recipes
from other countries, we spend time learning a little about the
country, locate it on the globe, and color the country's flag. We
also use cooking as an opportunity to discuss nutrition, including
good and bad food choices and the food pyramid.
