My Project

Students will learn to cook and prepare things at home that will leave families speechless. Purchasing a dishwasher will help save time washing dishes. Learning all about history, measurement, science, social studies, and reading while having fun is what learning is all about. In this class, students have confidence, learn to be healthy, follow directions, work as a team, and learn basic life skills in order to take care of themselves at home. Everything the students will learn is carefully thought out about making healthy choices, reading food labels, cooking from scratch, etiquette, designing a table, and creating a recipe. The best part is our hydroponic towers, which are used to grow herbs, vegetables inside the recipes that we create.
