Almost every week, we have been doing some baking. Recently we made zucchini bread! Everyone took a turn grating the zucchini, mixing and stirring the ingredients together. After it baked, we got to eat it!
We made two loaves. We ate one and the other was sent to our great volunteer helper, Doug- he takes care of our yard and odd jobs.
When children bake and cook they learn many skills. Here are just a few examples of what your child is learning through these activities: They develop an understanding of basic math and science skills: volume, weight and measurement. They are also enhancing their social skills with taking turns and learning to work together on a group project.
