Cooking in the Classroom

Miss Wetzler's new cooking program, the result of a recent impact grant through the Westmoreland Intermediate Unit Foundation, has already taught the children so much.  It provides great opportunities for her students to talk about health and nutrition, allowing them to build healthy habits early in life.  The curriculum Miss Wetzler's class currently uses focuses on recipes from around the world and allows the students to learn about traditions and other cultures.  Most importantly, cooking in the classroom helps her students become problem solvers and teaches them how to work as a team to accomplish a goal.
