Intervention teacher Desiree Cabrices wanted to give her students a fun activity they could do together every Friday that would help allow them develop motor skills through cooking. With the help of a teacher grant, Ms. Cabrices purchased food items that her students could use to prepare a meal for themselves. Her students looked forward to the weekly cooking activity, and were proud of the practical kitchen skills they were learning that they can apply outside of school.
