Students have done an amazing job working in groups to create different foods in the kitchen.  They are currently in small groups working to create a demonstration of a recipe in the kitchen.

Recipe Assignment

All students were able to use a Chrome Book to research a classroom friendly recipe yesterday.  If it has not been submitted please complete at home by the end of this week.

After finding the recipe these are the steps to creating the assignment :

  1. Create a google doc
  2.  Copy the recipe into the doc
  3. Read the recipe directions and locate cooking terms
  4. Make a list of cooking terms and definitions on the bottom of the doc
  5. Submit to me

What we are learning

All students have done a great job getting so know classroom expectations and routines in the classroom.  We are currently learning about kitchen safety expectations as well as keeping foods safe to eat.  Next week students will have a simple quiz covering the information we have discussed so far.  All students have to understand all the safety skills before cooking in the foods lab!

Computer learning

Students have completed a large research project and presented their findings on the topic they researched.  We had a wide variety of topics from global warming to uniforms in school.  Students used the basics within Microsoft Word to create their written research and submitted it in Google Classroom.  We will be starting lesson on spreadsheets next.

Breads

8th grade students have been learning about types of breads.  Friday they had the opportunity to use ingredients to make homemade biscuits.  Biscuits were a success as a first project working as a team.  We have more cooking to come!
