What's included
1 live meeting
1 hrs 20 mins in-class hours per weekProjects
1 hour per week. There will never be homework assigned during classes with CHEF KenDad. Although experimentation using the skills learned in class will be encouraged, it will be up to the individual SMALL(ER) HUMANS to use his/her knowledge on their own time. HOWEVER, there will always be suggestions and tips for everyone to use in their daily lives, with the hope that those ideas will always come back better. However, there will always be very specific pre-class preparations to include chopping certain items, boiling certain items, etcAssessment
At the end of every session, each SMALL HUMAN will receive a verbal assessment regarding interaction, creativity, sharing, understanding, effort, and, most importantly, appreciation.Class Experience
