In the Unicorn class today, we were very lucky to have 3 special guests in with us today to help us cook delicious LATKES! Jared's mom Wendy, Micah's mom Melissa and Ben's mom Dania all rolled up their sleeves and dug their hands in to grate, chop, and stir our potatoes with us!
Cooking is something the Unicorns have expressed an immense amount of enjoyment doing! While it is evident that all of the children have fun, their is also a lot of learning that can occur in the kitchen! Cooking as a team in the classroom, we set a goal and accomplish a project. We plan out what we want to make, find our ingredients, plan our time to make the food and see a final end result! As a part of accomplishing a task, children have a boost of self confidence and enthusiasm of creating something themselves. Children are more likely to eat whatever they have had a hand in making too! Cooking also explores science, language, math and creativity!
