Hey,
Everyone!An exciting
start to the month of March, through all the rain and clouds there has been a
light! Through the power of sweetness and love, Alicia and I have planned some
awesome sugar cookies that the kids took part in for our art project! We took a bunch of children to join us in the kitchen to learn the
safety and rules of what to do and not do in the kitchen. We learned the
dangers of not eating raw cookie dough, because of the chance of getting
salmonella. We also enjoyed learning the correct way of rolling and measuring
the ingredients to prepare such a yummy treat!
Not every cookie has to be perfect.
While
waiting for these bundles of sweetness to bake, many of the students such as
Theodora, Max, and some leaders (Carolyn and I) were improving their reading
skills, by reading out kids plays (Green eggs and Ham, Pippi Longstocking) and
trying to create funny voices to make reading so much more fun! Even though
it was a messy task fitting so many chefs in a little kitchen we found a way to
express our creative minds, in the art of forming shapes and cutting out
animals. Even if the edges were rough or the dough was too dry, we all learned
an important lesson. Following the rules and recipes, so we can take these
skills to help our parents around the kitchen for dinnertime!Talk to you
