Introduction to Fun with Food
Description: As our youngest class, we will start with the basics of the 5 food groups and taste foods from each. We will play with our food each week as we make fun creations and explore familiar foods while also expanding our palate when introducing new options. Each student will be required to try “1 no thank-you bite” as we expose our taste buds to new experiences. We will work with basic tools and learn about new ones with the focus of Safety First! As we learn about Blessing others and the importance of sharing, we will prepare treats for our community.
Text: A genuine interest in learning basic food skills.
