Kids Cooking Healthy in the Kitchen!

My Students

I teach a special education TK/kindergarten/1st grade class. My students come to school happy, and full of energy each day. They dream about being teachers, superheroes, and veterinarians. Some of them have been in school since they were 3 because of speech delays or other disabilities.

Due to their special learning needs, every year is different and I have to find new ways to meet their learning needs.

They generally have a difficult time playing and communicating with other kids and need lots of practice such as dramatic play to improve on this. It is all worth it to see the progress they make and how proud they are of themselves. I want them to feel successful and learn as much as they can while they are with me.

My Project

My students love to pretend play, however the school district doesn't provide much supplies. What we have in the classroom is all handed down from previous teachers and is very outdated. I know my students will love a new kitchen play set and lots of different foods to play and learn with!

My students are typically very picky eaters, and most of what they eat is unhealthy.

This play kitchen is a great way to teach them about healthy choices in a fun way. I can't wait to see them put on the apron and cook something for their friends, or use the shopping cart and play store. This is such a great way to work on their language as well as healthy choices!
