My Project
Cooking is a really fun and engaging activity for my students, but it is also a critical independent living skill that my students will learn to gain some independence. We cook every Friday so that my students can get real-life, hands-on practice using a variety of cooking tools, practicing kitchen safety, following a recipe, understanding food storage and food quality, and using their functional math skills. It is important that they can prepare basic meals for themselves and be safe in the kitchen.
Having the supplies on hand will make it easier to organize according to what recipe students are working on for the week.
The cake mix, salt and pepper, pancake mix, puddings, sugar, brown sugar, and flour will be used to go along with the mixes to bake, refrigerate, and ready to eat for our Friday cooking. The students work on the recipes by researching on their computers learning how read the recipes. The students learn how to be comfortable around other people as they work as a team.
The materials will be beneficial for my students while teaching real life skills to gain some independents for the future.
