Jazzy Kitchen Camp - where music and food make a great team!














We are off to a great first day of Jazzy Kitchen Cooking Camp. Here are a few highlights from the morning together:

Introduction to Music from Italy (multi-cultural focus)
Creating our own restaurants - we decorated our restaurant "books", named our restaurants, and drew a picture of what our restaurant will look like (creativity, imagination)
Using breadstick dough, the children created their own breadstick shapes while Miss Kathy created a "wheat" design using a can of breadstick dough.  See the picture to learn more. (fine motor skills)
We brainstormed the ingredients needed for making pizza dough and pizza toppings and created our own class shopping list. (cognitive, language)
We created our pizza using prepared dough, then added sauce, cheese, and toppings. (cognitive, fine motor)

Tomorrow we will learn about music from England, bake scones, and decorate our restaurant take-out bags.

I'm looking forward to a great time of music, cooking, and fun fun fun!
