Funded Mar 22, 2019Thank you for all your donations! Our students were so excited to open the boxes and find all the materials we will need to begin our cooking unit! Our second grade students began their unit by inviting a local chef, Chef Noah, to come into our class to show us how to properly handle food and safely cut using our new child friendly knives.
After we learned how to safely use our materials our second grade students wanted to show their support for all the word our third grade friends were doing to complete their state exams. We made apple pancakes and shared them after they completed the test. The materials not only taught our students how to properly use kitchen supplies but it also encouraged thoughtfulness and kindness towards others. We plan on using the materials to learn more about States of Matter and how we can manipulate matter by cooking food in different ways.
This project sparked a conversation around obtaining healthy food and sparked the inspiration for our next project: creating a school garden and using the scraps to create compost. We want to thank you for all your support on this project and the many to come!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Velez-Gilmore
