Homework
1 hour per week. Our class has the best kind of homework! Make the drinks and then enjoy them! :) A flex class is fun and convenient because learners can complete the projects and assignments on their own time, but these classes are more fun when learners also interact with one another. Each week I want the learners to think about an ingredient that they think might be a good addition to one of the drinks we are making or have made. This will be fun and can almost be thought of as a scavenger hunt - what ingredients can you find (think about) to add to our drink? It might be a fruit...maybe a bit of flavoring or extract...maybe a different drink mix or even food coloring. It's good to be creative - creativity can be fun and exciting. I will ask questions about the drinks, recipes, or drink-making process at the end of each week. Students should be prepared to share successes, as well things that might have been a struggle as they learned something new. Students will also be encouraged to share a photo with the class of at least 3 of their drinks.Class Experience
** THIS IS A FLEX CLASS AND DOES NOT HAVE LIVE MEETINGS ** Students will learn how to make a variety of fun and fancy drinks and slushes throughout this class. We will make 2 new recipes each week (and 3 drinks in Week 3). Learners can build their recipe files, share ideas, and feel confident in what they have made. These drinks are perfect for gatherings or celebrations with friends and family. Note: All drinks will be non-alcoholic of course. :) Class Schedule: Week 1 - Strawberry Lemonade and Pina-Colada Slush Week 2 - Imitation Pink Champagne and Sunshine Citrus Punch Week 3 - Strawberry-Pineapple Slush, Fresh Lime Drinks, and Creamy Italian Sodas Week 4 - Cranberry-Orange Cooler and Sunset Punch Week 5 - Lime Slushy and Creamy Vanilla Soda Week 6 - Strawberry-Lime Punch and Pineapple Lemonade Videos for each step of the recipes will be shown to help learners easily follow along while making their drinks and slushes. A list of ingredients and supplies will be posted each week 3 days before class with photos to help when shopping for these ingredients. A full recipe with step-by-step videos will be posted each Saturday/Monday morning (depending on the start day of your class) in preparation for the new week so learners can make their drinks and slushes at a time that will best fit their schedules. I will be available throughout the 6-week class for questions and comments and will do my best to respond quickly.

My class is a safe place to learn, grow, make mistakes, laugh together, feel confident, and find new ways to be successful. I want everyone to feel safe and happy while creating in the kitchen. Come make some fun drinks with me!

I enjoy hosting parties and planning celebrations for my friends and family. It's always fun to add a fun or fancy beverage for a special occasion or just for fun. I would like to share some of my favorite drink recipes with these young learners and help them grow their recipe files! Reviews
