Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students come from a large underprivileged city and underfunded school system. These students are dedicated, determined, and they thirst to learn.

I am in awe of the fact that their surroundings and varied hardships, do not dim their enthusiasm for education.

One hundred percent of my students receive free lunch.

My students take my class to learn to cook for themselves. We make everything from scratch. They learn how to cost out a recipe, the method to correctly cooking and baking that recipe, and then they get to eat their results. They can judge not only how they did with the recipe, but the recipe itself and what they might do to change the outcome.

My students often struggle to verbalize or write about on paper what they think or feel; some are ELL students learning English; some have unique learning styles. Our hands-on class allows my students to experience a different approach to learning. For some, Culinary Arts is their motivation for coming to school. They work in groups with people they might not feel initially comfortable with, but they learn to be more comfortable, tolerant and open through their involvement in the creative process itself.

My Project

It is important to wear an apron while cooking, as it creates a barrier between your clothing and the food one is preparing. It helps to keep us clean, and it also helps to keep the germs that are hanging out on our clothing away from our food.

By assigning each of my students an apron, they will be able to take ownership of this very important cooking tool, and they will be prepared to cook each day in a safe and sanitary way.

This apron will be theirs. My hope is that owning it will encourage them to cook beyond the classroom.
