Orientación para padres
Parents should be close by to help learners with the use of kitchen appliances (if needed) and assist in food prep such as cutting, measuring, etc. Supplemental labs or other homework can be given to those who have food allergies or do not have the required ingredients.
Lista de útiles escolares
Learners will need a binder, pen/pencil, and grocery supply list (A PDF copy will be posted to the classroom). Learners will receive notes/handouts for each lesson from the instructor so purchasing a textbook is not necessary.
