*Use code SLESSBOOKCOOK33 for $3 off!* Let's combine quality children's literature with hands-on fun in the kitchen! In this class, learners will be assigned a different book to read before each meeting (no purchase necessary; check your library and Youtube for free read alouds!). When we meet, we will discuss the events in the book and review the story elements. Learners will be invited to join in a group retelling as I lead a discussion with both comprehension and opinion-based questions. Discussions will be meant to inspire a love for literature and reading in young learners. *Please note that this class currently runs on an every other week schedule, so there are 2 meetings a month.* Then, we will prep, create, and (if it does not need additional setting time) taste a treat that is related to the book! The time required to prepare the recipes each week may vary slightly, depending on the number of learners enrolled and their age/ability level, so some recipes may need additional setting or cooking time. This is a great way to encourage your child to try different foods and flavors they may not otherwise be interested in! *This is an ongoing class, but you may join/leave as needed and able. Each class will be able to stand alone.* Class Schedule: August 9: "Nanette's Baguette" by Mo Willems / Breakfast Baguette August 23: "The Little Red Hen Makes A Pizza" by Philemon Sturges / Homemade Pizza September 6: "Jalapeno Bagels" by Natasha Wing / Bagels September 27: "The Apple Pie Tree" by Zoe Hall / Apple Pie in a Cup October 11: "The Pumpkin Runner" by Marsha Arnold / Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies October 25: "Too Many Pumpkins" by Linda White / Pumpkin Muffins November 8: "The Very Last Leaf" by Stef Wade / Caramel Apple Bites November 22: "Time for Cranberries" by Lisl Detlefsen / Cranberry Loaf December 6: "Gingerbread Mouse" by Katy Bratun / Candy Cane Pizza December 20: "Imogene's Antlers" by David Small / Vegetable Reindeer January 3: "Do Frogs Drink Hot Chocolate?
