Beginner Level
Students will be taught about a variety of tools used every day in the kitchen. They will learn proper technique for measuring ingredients, preheating the oven, creating different foods from recipes. There is no better application of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) than through cooking and baking. We will discuss the science behind the way some foods are made. We will use a variety of kitchen equipment and discuss possible solutions of substitutions of equipment and ingredients. We will use math skills when measuring using standard and nonstandard measuring tools. We will also discuss diverse cultures as we create authentic delicacies. We will talk about the origins of some of our favorite foods. This club meets once a week. This will be an ongoing club where learners can sign up for cooking and baking classes according to their personal interests. Recipes will vary from class to class. We will bake with and without yeast. Our menu will be made up of sweet and savory dishes. We will learn about some traditions that are associated with cooking such as the southern tradition of never returning an empty plate to someone who has brought you a treat. One of the recipes that will be included in the rotation are home made pizza with a crust made from scratch (that includes yeast). Other recipes include cinnamon rolls, chocolate pie with home made pie crust, home made rolls and chocolate chip "cowboy" cookies. We will learn about measuring and reading recipes at every club meeting. Prior meetings are not required before attending other club meetings. We will talk about the science associated with cooking foods and sanitary and hygienic practices in the kitchen. Students will be encouraged to share their food preferences as well as foods that they are interested in learning to cook. I do not cook alongside the learners. Instead, I walk them through following recipes. I feel this is the best way to devote 100% of my class time to meeting student’s needs. Depending on the number of learners and their skill sets class might possibly end prior to the 55 minute set time. #superstar
Learning Goals
Students will build life skills by learning to bake. Academic skills such as math and reading will be exercised at every meeting. Students will learn to read and bake from a recipe. They will strengthen math skills as they work with different forms of measurement. They will learn time management skills as they attend to the entire baking process which includes gathering ingredients, measuring ingredients, mixing, preparing items for baking and, most importantly, learning to clean up after themselves while they are baking and when they are done.

Parental Guidance
Young children may require a little more help from parents as we will be using some equipment that might be dangerous for them to handle on their own.
