By popular request... introducing, American Girl x Baking! This 3 day camp is an opportunity to learn about American Girl book character, Grace Thomas while baking some fun treats. Each meeting, we will learn, chat, and bake! **This is an extended version of my one-time Grace class. I use the same materials/slides/information, just split into three days while adding some baking activities.*** In this three time class, I will introduce Grace from the American Girl book series. We will talk about who she is and why her books are great examples of patience, kindness, and being willing to compromise with others. I will review a brief preview of all of her books/stories, talk about Grace and her characteristics, and why she is such an inspiration to all girls of today. I will also review some geography and cultural lifestyle aspects of living in Paris while Grace spends a little time living with her aunt and uncle in Paris. I will also talk about how Grace follows her passion for baking, no matter how hard things get. She always follows her dreams! Day 1: We will introduce Grace and learn a bit about her while making Nutella OR chocolate croissants. Day 2: We will discuss the highlights of Grace's book series with an emphasis on book #1, "Grace" while making chocolate mousse. Day 3: We will talk a bit about the Grace's life in Paris while creating yogurt parfaits.
Learning Goals
Students will learn different elements of what life is like in present-day Paris using the American Girl "Grace" book series as a reference.

Parental Guidance
Potential Hazards: Students will need to use the oven, stove-top, microwave, and mixer during this baking camp.
Even though students will be studying a historical time frame, we will not always be following historical methods of baking and/or recipes. This class is geared towards a 8-14-year-old audience, but parents are always welcomed to be close by. :)

Hi there!
My name is Mrs. Rodenbeck and I am a middle school history teacher! I have taught 6th, 7th, and 8th, grade history for the past 5 years! Before that, I taught high school history. I absolutely LOVE learning about people from the past! I like understanding how people lived in different times in history.
I studied anthropology in college. My goal as a kid was to be Indiana Jones! Archaeology and cultural anthropology are my favorite disciplines. I like to learn about what past peoples have built and how those things impact their culture. I’ve even done work for Chicago’s Field Museum since 2007. Now I work in the education department at the Field Museum with other teachers and bringing history topics into their classrooms.
I love teaching about the American Girl books and their periods of time in history because I used to WORK at the American Girl store in Chicago. I worked there all throughout my college years. I loved American Girl when I was a kid and I loved it, even more, when I worked at the store in college!
I hope that from this course, you can take some of my passion for history and for American Girl and get a little more excited about learning about other people. There are so many fun and exciting things to learn about! I can’t wait to share them with you! Reviews
