Homework
1-2 hours per week. In all Wild About Cooking classes, there IS homework! Students are encouraged to taste test and share their completed recipe with family and friends.Class Experience
This FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE class is great for the student who wants to learn how to make different cookie recipes! Students will learn how to make a different cookie from scratch to share with family and friends each week. This class will be a combination of PowerPoint, demonstration, discussion and will incorporate video. Students can participate along as the the teacher leads them through the steps of the recipe. In addition to learning new recipes, students will gain confidence and experience in their own kitchen. Class 1: Chocolatey Chocolate Chip & Kitchen Safety Class 2: Orange Cranberry & Why Follow Directions? Class 3: Oatmeal Raisin & Virtual Field Trip: Sugar and Flour Class 4: Peanut Butter/Sun Butter & Can I Change a Recipe? Throughout the class, students will be introduced to different math terms, counting, and an introduction to fractions in the various class videos. Students will interact with the teacher and other students by sharing photos and opinions of their completed recipe, will participate in class games, such as Kitchen Bingo, participate in guided discussion and activities each week regarding math and cooking. Students will be expected to comment on classmates' photos and videos. By enrolling in the class, families accept full responsibility for their learner's safety which includes but not limited to kitchen materials and the ingredients. *A note on how I teach a flexible schedule class: -In a flexible schedule class, there are class video lessons, discussion questions and activities, posted weekly where students interact with each other within the Outschool classroom. All material will be posted within the platform. -Students can post videos, copies of their work and or photos and respond to each other. Each class will have a different amount of enrollments, with students from our global community. The amount of interaction between students will vary from class to class. -As the teacher, I respond mainly by video so that students can hear and see me. Though at times I will respond by a typed answer. I also will respond to every student within 24 hours of their posting. -For more information on how I teach a flex class there is a video that I created trying to answer the frequently asked questions (http://bit.ly/WhatisFlex). -At anytime that you do have a question, whether it's when you are considering a flex class or when your learner is enrolled, please do not hesitate to contact me within the Outschool system to ask. I do my best to answer within 24 hours. **

Other Details
Parental Guidance
By enrolling in the class, families accept full responsibility for their learner's safety which includes but not limited to kitchen materials and the ingredients. As this is a baking class, students are required to have an adult working with them in order to complete each of the recipes and extra projects.
Parental guidance is requested/needed in assisting the student in the kitchen as students will be using items like a stove, oven, knives, etc. Families are responsible for student safety in the kitchen
Families are responsible for making necessary changes to recipes to avoid allergens. Families need to notify Erin Girard ASAP about any potential allergies. Substitutions can be made for a majority of the recipes. Each family is responsible for knowing what ingredients their family can have. Please contact the instructor for any questions.
