KCLE Students learn about Fall Season

Posted

In Kelly Heath’s class at Kemper County Lower Elementary School stu­dents have enjoyed learning about the sea­son Autumn, more com­monly known as Fall to southerners.

With the change of sea­sons, baking and the hol­idays start coming to mind. This class loves to cook delicious treats. At least a couple of times a month, the students get to cook something that goes along with their unit or theme.

Heath, Sherry Arring­ton, and Alexis Merrick incorporate cooking into their studies while learn­ing life skills. They dis­cuss making lists for grocery shopping and discuss costs which leads to learning to count money. Students under­stand the importance of reading by having to fol­low a recipe. More math skills are needed by learning units of meas­urements for just the right amount of ingredi­ents.

Three weeks ago this class prepared pumpkin bread, then the next week they made apple cinnamon bread. The stu­dents help prepare the treat then are rewarded by tasting their finished product.

This is an awesome way to incorporate many les­sons into one while mak­ing real life connections. Learning is fun at KCLE and Fall is in the air!
