They practiced turn-taking, shared utensils, and even used new vocabulary like \"stir\" and \"pour.\" These small steps are huge milestones for our learners.\r\nNext, we'll be incorporating the kitchen into a life-skills unit where students will learn about healthy foods and practice sequencing steps in cooking activities.
