My Project

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students will help bring a sense of home to our classroom. We are working on how to greet others with kindness and learning to communicate with our peers through cooking together. The microwave will be used to cook different items in our classroom and teach our students how to make or heat meals for themselves independently. The aprons and serving trays will help students serve breakfast throughout the school. The organizational tray will help the students learn to sort the forks, knives, and spoons. The air fryer will help the students learn to cook using different kitchen tools.

The donations to this project will help to improve my students' understanding of being independent in the kitchen.

By implementing the cooking lessons, my students will begin to see themselves as true cooks for themselves and for others. We will use these materials to aid them in the process of becoming life-long cooks. Yet I truly need your support to make this a reality. Thanks!
