Cooking with Kindergarten
Does anyone have suggestions about cooking with the little ones? They enjoyed cooking and made great Fruit Loop Necklaces, but recalling the individual steps and then recording them on paper was too difficult. I think for next time, I will make a different recipe sheet, but other than that, I don't know what to do.

For my second class, I left out recalling the ingredients. Since each step added a new ingredient, it seemed redundant to do all of them first and then do it again in each step --just confused them. That might help simplify things.
Also, if you keep it simple, they can draw pictures. The advanced kids should be able to keep up and write key words, but for other kids you could have key words on slips and they could glue it on or just copy off those slips and onto their sheet.
Not enough time to write everything now, but hope this helps.
I deal mostly with KG and after much trial and error, I often pre-draw the picture steps (I try to pare it down to about 4 steps), photocopy them, hand it out to them mixed up and have them paste them in the right order, while going over each step with them verbally. Then, if time and ability, they add words next to the pics. I make sure I have already gone over the words while reading the recipe. Also, I make sure to list the words on the top of the recipe sheet (i.e, mud, sand, lava and dinosaur for the Dessert Dig). Yes, they 'copy' them, but we've already reviewed it. Call me if u need clarification:)646-469-4335
