Cooking

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.
