Cooking Up Learning

Help me give my students a fun way to learn by cooking in the classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hinderberger's classroom raised $621

This project is fully funded

My Students

I teach kindergarten in a suburban elementary school which serves multiple neighborhood areas and a large, local military base. Students therefore come to our school and my classroom from a very diverse mix of socioeconomic and multicultural backgrounds. My students are eager to work hard and they are excited to learn.

My students have varied levels of developmental abilities, including both special needs and gifted students.

Some of these students come to me knowing few to no sight words, letters, or sound recognition. These skills are the foundation every good readers needs to start with.

My Project

How fun would it be to learn about Mardi Gras and actually get to make mini king cakes or making green eggs and ham in the electric skillet. Students learn better when they are able experience hands on learning. I want to give my students opportunities to learn while cooking in the classroom. The toaster oven would give students a small oven to cook individual size portions after we learned about a topic. Think about the senses you use when cooking popcorn in a popcorn maker. I could use the Teacher Pay Teacher gift card to purchase fun activities that showed the students how to cook or make something interesting and fun.

The popcorn maker, snow cone machine, flavors, and cups would allow me to plan fun rewards for the students after they meet behavior or reading goals.
