Description

COOK TO LEARN! Cooking in the classroom is so much fun and is such an easy way to sneak in so many learning opportunities!!

Cooking is not only an essential life skill, it is a great opportunity to teach students essential literacy and mathematical skills. Through cooking and working with recipes, students are exposed to reading, sequencing, following directions, measurement; and other mathematical operations, and they have fun while doing it! Cooking also serves as a fabulous way to get students writing!!

This is not just an ordinary cookbook. It is about getting students engaged in learning. With these 45+ timely and simple, kid-friendly recipes your children will practice sequencing, graphing, computation, measurement, and learn to write persuasive, opinion, and how-to paragraphs. Additionally, they will learn teamwork and basic cooking etiquette. Worksheets and activities are included that are designed to accompany any of the recipes!

*With the exception of a couple of frozen treats, all recipes can be made during a one hour period!

In addition to the fun recipes, look at all you get to turn every recipe into an extended learning activity!

Graphing (Who liked the recipe and who didn't)

A chef’s hat template is also included for your students to make and a recipe card they can use to color, copy the recipe, and take home to share with their family.
