My Project
What I love most about my students is their creativity, curiosity, and resilience. They’re eager to learn real-world skills that matter beyond the classroom, and they thrive when lessons are hands-on, relatable, and meaningful. Cooking is one of those life skills that not only teaches responsibility, independence, and critical thinking but also builds confidence and teamwork.
Each resource used in our cooking-focused lessons from simple tools like measuring cups and mixing bowls to visual recipes and budgeting worksheets helps students learn essential life skills in a practical, engaging way.
These resources allow them to connect learning with their everyday lives, whether it’s reading instructions, managing time, or making healthy food choices. More than just preparing meals, they’re preparing for life. And that’s what I love supporting them in every day.
