I am helping out the daycare (Open Arms Childcare Ministries) with their summer school classes by offering cooking classes for the kids. The other classes they offer are English, Bible Study, and Art. This was the first week and we started with bread. Robin (in the striped shirt), one of the volunteers at the daycare, helps me with translating the classes into Spanish.
--Antonio, Galilea, and Melissa kneading bread--
I teach two days a week, for about 2 hours to a class of 5 kids (each class is a different set of kids). We had a lot of fun and they seemed to really enjoy the class. I taught them about yeast and how that helps make bread, about measuring ingredients, and why we knead bread. I think their favorite part was getting to punch down the risen dough.
--Genesis measuring out a cup of whole wheat flour--
--Berenice adding all the ingredients the kids measured out into the mixing bowl--
Then at the end instead of just baking a loaf they thought up what they wanted to make: little bread men, rolls, hearts, etc... and decorated them with raisins!
