Planning for Success

Long Table Dinner Ahead!

   In the 2023 Classroom

  Happy February! 

We hope this finds you all well and staying warm.

Let's dive into our classroom & how we get into cooking together.

At the beginning of each grading period, we ask our students what they are interested in making, whether it involves an ingredient or dish or region of the world - all while we explore cookbooks. They write their suggestions on index cards that we put up on the wall - and in turn become our menus and themes to cook and enjoy together every Friday.

More suggestions are added as we go along, luckily the wall is pretty big!

Students then put a post-it on what we've cooked together as a quick way to get a sense of everything we've covered. The photo above was taken a few weeks into class.

   Planning for Success

After building this collage wall, it might be tempting to rush into cooking, right? 

We love cooking!

And we've found that settling into a recipe and giving everyone a chance to be a part of the planning strengthens our teamwork. 

At the start of each week we present the draft of our menu (from the cooking wall) and students select recipes to read, draw and plan out.

Thank you, Edible Schoolyard, for

sharing this technique, it brings a boost of confidence into our classroom cooking.

Next time we'll share with you some of our other walls where

students post their ideas on more than just cooking.

Long Table Dinner Ahead!
