Alternative Seating and Cooking Appliances for the Classroom
Help me give my students a mini refrigerator, hot water kettle, and cooktop stove for preparing classroom snacks as well as a comfortable beanbag sofa to relax on after their work is done.
My sixth-grade students and I have been together since first grade. Being together for the past 5 years has been a remarkably powerful experience. We have become a close-knit group. We will be on this journey together through the 8th grade.
My students are curious, happy, and eager for a challenge in all aspects of their education.
We go on overnight field trips to have authentic experiences about the academic subjects being studied. Being outside of the classroom on these adventures helps to keep my students engaged and loving school.
My Project
My students look forward to our home-made, nourishing daily snacks as soon as they arrive in the classroom each morning. After a rigorous, academic morning before heading out to recess, we sit down together and share a meal. The weekly menu is comprised of lentils and rice on Mondays, black beans with sour cream and salsa on Tuesdays, hummus and veggies on Wednesdays, Kitchari on Thursdays, and soup on Fridays.
This year the students will take turns prepping and preparing the classroom snacks themselves.
By participating in the daily work of cooking these snacks, the students will gain a sense of responsibility and community in being of service to the group. They will leave our class with a repertoire of healthy dishes that they can make at home.
