The best way to learn is to do! Kids learn by following along as I cook step by step. I love to cook, and I love sharing that passion with my students. This is such a fun class, and such a delicious dessert. I encourage students to ask questions throughout the class. Your child will gain confidence through practice, and the skills learned in this class will help them so much in life. We will make ice cream without an ice cream machine or using an oven. This is a great class for beginners, but it's also a fun and delicious challenge for advanced bakers as well. Due to the nature of this recipe, students will finish assembling the cookies after class. They will make the ice cream and get it in the freezer. We will also make the cookies. After the cookies have cooled and the ice cream has a chance to set a little, they will assemble the sandwiches on their own after class. They do not have to make them into sandwiches if they'd prefer to serve it like a ice cream sundae in a bowl. The class will begin with classroom expectations and instructions. We will do introductions. I will instruct the class on kitchen safety and hygiene before we get started. We will make sure that we have all the supplies and ingredients ready to go before we start cooking. Students will follow along and cook with me as I demonstrate the recipe for the ice cream. They will be encouraged to ask questions, and I will share important cooking tips throughout the lesson to help improve their knowledge while we work. Kitchen skills are an essential life skill, but kids also learn so much about math and reasoning through baking as well. Students will need to measure wet and dry ingredients during the class. Cooking is such a fun educational activity. I choose cooking projects for my classes that do not require lengthy ingredient lists or hard to find specialty items.
