I think today class went good there, wasn't any issues or anything like that. The kitchen is kind of small so I think they got a little antsy just being in there and waiting for the pieces to be done, but overall it was a good class and I think they really enjoyed it.
Today, the students made pizza. So, we started the class off with them washing their hands as he do every class. And then we went to the kitchen. We spent a majority of our time in the kitchen today, because I knew that each pizza was going to have to go and maybe three at a time. So, I didn't want his moving back and forth from the classroom to the kitchen. So, we actually started making our pizzas in the kitchen. They each had a play with their names on it, and then I gave them each a tortilla first and then I gave him the sauce and then cheese and then I got Turkey pepperoni just in case from the one pepperoni, which majority of them did and then we put them in the oven about three other time. And then once they were done, while they cooled off, they drew their pizzas and the ingredients that they use, and then at the end of the class, we talked about which one was their favorite food that they made and the whole series.

I think for me class today went pretty well, everybody was listening pretty good and we timing was pretty good. We were cutting it pretty close, but we weren't rushing, but they finished basically just on time and they were able to eat the cookies. They really enjoyed it and click on Clean up. Wasn't that hard today at all? Really, so everything went pretty well.
Today in class they came in and they wash their hands that they do before every class. And then today, we are making cookies. So they first a preheated, the oven. And then while the ovens were preached was preheating, they got to shape their cookie dough into, we did Halloween themed, so they made cats and bats and pumpkins, and witches, hats and things like that. And then by time, We're done with that. The oven was done, preheating, then they went to put them in the oven. Then while they're cookies were cooking, they drew, what they made the greetings to used and then by the time they were done with that, their cookies were done and those who have leftover cookie dough were able to make a second cookie.

I think class today went really well, we were able to finish everything on time. We're able to clean up. I did have to keep telling one student to give him a lot of reminders, but it's kind of been the same since beginning. So it wasn't anything, I haven't really gone used to and yet, so or have a governor used to by now. So it was, it was nice. We we finished everything on time. They enjoyed it and they liked what they made.
Today in class of me and my students made chips and guacamole they came in and they made their guacamole. Then we were in the kitchen and I fried up some chips and then they drew up what they made the ingredients that they use and then they were able to eat it.

This class for me or the teacher and went, okay, it wasn't terrible. It was the class itself was a little Rowdy, there's probably one student who was did pretty well listening but the rest of them they they were, they were Pre-K soil. They like to run around and pick up stuff and things like that. Nothing I've ever experienced before. But it was a it was a big difference from the first class because they were all it was like four of them and they just sat down very quietly and follow directions, very well. And then the second class, Like about eight of them and more than half of them were pretty, had were very energetic, but it wasn't. It wasn't, it wasn't too bad. I was still able to get through everything we still even had extra time at the end to play to play games and read and stuff. So I think the class went pretty good. Pretty okay. Overall
For the second class, we did parfaits as well. Pretty much the same routine as a first session. I have them come in and this time, I pick them up after dropping off the first group of kids off, then they wash their hands and they sat down. I was a little bigger class, those two different tables instead of one, and then we just went through stuff. They got their cups, I gave them yogurt first, their strawberries and granola, then spoon in there. I ate it and they really enjoyed it as well. We even played some games at the end when they were eating, since we had a little extra time.

I think for this class as a teacher, I think it went pretty well. The school was very helpful. They provided me with spoons cuz I need a more spoon. So that that one. Well, I had every everything else I needed with me. I had enough for all the students class wasn't too crazy. They listen pretty well. So this first class, so everything went pretty smoothly and the kids enjoyed their parfaits.
Today in class, we made parfait. So for my first class, I have the students were dropped off to me. I had them, sit down, they wash their hands and I gave them their cups, that are really fun to have a little animals on them, and we did each step. And then yeah, then they ate their parfaits before I send them back to recess.

I think the class went well for me today as a teacher. I was a little nervous because I knew we were going to go into the kitchen for the first time. All together, weathers, you know, things that can hurt them or things like that. But and I have one that likes to roam a little bit and likes to run around and touch things. So that did make me a little nervous. But we had a talk at the whole class had talked before going in and they actually did. Pretty well in the kitchen. They were, they didn't do anything crazy. Except for a little bit of moving around, nothing went horrible. And they all behaved really well, so that our all turned out really good for me.
Today the students make quesadillas in beans. They worked on their teamwork when I had them assist each other and preparing their quesadillas with the tortillas and cheese and then we all moved to the kitchen where we made the quesadillas and they flip them and they Stir It, their beans to their liking and then we continued back inside the classroom where they drew, what they made, and wrote down the ingredients that they use. What I? That's why I've been having them do so far. So hopefully at the end, we can have a cookbook made.

I think class went really well today for me as a teacher. I was a little nervous going into a new area, but the school itself was very great. Everybody here was very welcoming and very positive. If you feel comfortable with the class Space is really nice. They let me use the kitchen area which is also very nice even not in use much today but it was nice to know that it was there and everybody which is very helpful and
So today I started the class by just getting to know each one of them. Ask them what their favorite food was. And what the favorite thing is to do, there was about six is on there was eight of them on my roster but six of them were there and we made a fruit platter fruit salad. So we have strong, we have grapes, bananas and oranges. And I just showed them how to cut peel and wash their fruit. Shoot and they were able to make anything they want out of them. And then after they drew what they made and the ingredients that they used to make it that way, they can take that home with them. And yeah, they I'm excited to continue classes with them and now that I know is that whoever they are will. Lovely can do and how well they do in class. I'm excited to try out different things with them.
