"Fun"ctional Friday cooking!

This past Friday, we continued our lessons in learning how to spread using a butter knife. We made Tortilla Roll-ups and kids practice their knife holding skills, how much to put on their knife, how to appropriately get the food product out of the container (rather than just stabbing the center of it- :-) and how to spread an even amount on to the tortilla. The kids used their tortilla to spread cream cheese evenly over the surface of it and then chose meat (turkey or ham) slices to put on top of the cream cheese. They then rolled them up and ate them. With the exception of 1 or 2 students, the kids ate them up! Below are some pictures of our activity. Look in your child's book bag for their assigned ingredient to bring for this weeks cooking activity! We will be making an entire lunch meal (you won't need to send in a lunch for them that day!) and eating in a family format. We will also be practicing their table setting, dish washing and conversation skills. Please let me know by Thursday morning if you need help providing your child's ingredient!
