Surf's Chef: Savor the Flavors

Help me give my students Cook books & an ice machine to help them create their PBL project of a cookbook, Surf's Chef presents... "Savor the Flavors: A Culinary Journey Through the Eyes of a Special Student."

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Pilialoha Kapono's classroom raised $734

This project is fully funded

My Project

Special needs students faced difficulties in social interaction and communication, and the lack of in-person interactions with peers, teachers, and support staff during the pandemic has exacerbated feelings of isolation and loneliness. We will be using the materials requested to help develop our PBL lesson creating a cookbook. Students will create the book using their own artwork, cooking skills, and most importantly individual ideas! They will cook all recipes, serve it to students & staff, get feedback prior to submitting their cookbook. The cookbooks will help us get a start on some local recipes, the ice machine will help us keep foods cold when serving & for our drink station we will be creating with smoothies, teas, & fruit juice. They will communicate with family, staff, friends, and peers what their favorite recipes are and share their own! We are so excited to offer this opportunity for our special needs students.
