Storybook Cooks
Let's combine quality children's literature with hands-on fun in the kitchen in this self-paced class!
Each mini lesson and recipe will be provided via prerecorded video. That way, learners and their families can log on when it best suits them to participate. I will also sometimes touch on alternate ideas and "twists" on recipes, so you can try them in different ways.
In each section, learners will be assigned a different book to read (no purchase necessary; check your library and Youtube for free read alouds!). Each section's skills will focus on a different, quality storybook.
Recipe cards will be provided along with a step-by-step cooking video. Fancy kitchen equipment and experience are not necessary. Recipes will be kid-friendly without too many complicated ingredients, but young learners will still need some assistance. Recipes are also able to be altered to meet dietary restrictions as needed.

Making Connections
In the pre-recorded videos and activities posted to the classroom, we will work on many reading skills, such as: predictions, summarizing the events in the book, story elements, making connections, sequencing, drawing conclusions, and more! These mini-lessons are meant to inspire a love for literature and reading in young learners.
Then, in each section's second video, we will prep, create, and (if it does not need additional setting time) taste a treat that is related to the book! The time required to prepare the recipes may vary slightly, and some recipes may need additional setting or cooking time. This is a great way to encourage your child to try different foods and flavors they may not otherwise be interested in!
