Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Learning to cook offers students many benefits. They learn advanced concepts through hands-on practice with math and measurement. They practice teamwork by sharing brigade duties with other students including cooking and cleaning responsibilities. They expand their palates by trying new foods and building confidence in themselves. Culinary class offers my students real-life skills that they can put into practice every day of their lives. They learn skills that can help them feed themselves and their families in the future.

I want supplies and equipment for my culinary class.

Our class needs aprons for our labs, cleaning supplies like dish soap and laundry detergent, and mops to clean up the floors after labs. I also would like lemonade for students to make refreshments to go along with their lab activities.

This will give my students the opportunity to complete more labs in our culinary classes. They can learn about different foods and cooking methods while putting their skills to use in class. Having this equipment will add to our class and help me continue to offer my students meaningful cooking experiences.
