My Students
African American, Hispanic, Asian, Middle Eastern, Caucasian... The wonderful melting pot of my Kindergarten class. My students are energetic, funny, inquisitive, and strong. They are so excited!
Our school includes low-income students, with 100% of them receiving free lunch.
They come from homes with wonderful parental involvement but minimal resources.
My students are very eager to learn new things. I want to be able to afford them different opportunities to learn many new things by using different materials and different avenues.
My Project
What better way to learn about diversity in the classroom than with cooking? This project is aimed to supply my students with the necessary materials to not only learn how to cook simple dishes but to learn about different cultures as well. Cooking is a one-stop-shop for learning! Students will implement writing skills, math skills, social studies and science skills all while having fun and making delicious dishes! Along with educational skills, students will also learn real-world skills by cooking. This would be a wonderful opportunity to bring hands-on experience to the classroom. Through cooking, I will be able to accomplish this.
The supplies needed to make this project happen already have a home in our classroom, we just need to get it there!
Included in our supplies are basic cooking materials which include mixing bowls, cooking utensils, and measuring cups. Also included are a toaster oven, aprons, and storage cart. Lastly, a dry erase board to write recipes.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
