My Students

My students are active, and very busy first and second graders. They are beginning to learn basic academics. (reading, writing, spelling, and math) They are special needs students who require functional skills lessons which will help them when they become independent adults.

My students have a variety of learning styles and need to be inspired.

It is important for my students to have an opportunity to discover things that are meaningful and relevant to life. It is important to instill the love for learning. Children are our future, and each one has the potential to bring something special to the world.

My Project

We will use a variety of cooking equipment to teach basic math skills such as measurement. Using measuring cups and spoons will help students work on simple fractions. Reading simple recipes and identifying vocabulary words related to cooking will assist students with their functional reading skills. Sequencing is another skill we can incorporate in cooking activities.

Cooking is a necessity in everyone's life.

All children need to learn the basic skills of cooking. They can become actively involved in the entire process of reading and preparing a simple recipe. Cooking with kids can be motivating, exciting and keeps them busy.
