positive attitude and team approach. The gym program is

| COOKING |
Students will develop language and math skills during their
classroom cooking time. Children will have an opportunity
to make basic "kid-friendly" items while learning many
essential skills, which will include developing fine motor
skills. Age-appropriate cooking activities will correlate
with the current theme of each classroom and will include
a story relative to the theme of the week as well. Food
allergies are taken into consideration and modifications will
be made! Children love this hands-on learning experience
and look forward to the many fun recipes they will be
making!
