Mom, I'm Cooking Tonight!

Help me give my students the items they need to have a working kitchen. The cookware, paper plates, and storage containers will be a big help when it's time to cook.

My Project

The cookware, utensils, containers, plates, and napkins that I have requested will help my independent students have a well equipped kitchen during cooking class. At the moment, we are borrowing items from our teachers' personal kitchens.

The safety knives will ease the fear of them cutting themselves.

The wooden utensils will hold up better while cooking and not scratch the pots. The paper plates, napkins, and plasticware will be used to serve the cooks and our students that are waiting for our good food to be ready. The carryout storage containers will be used for them to take leftovers home.
