For our final week of classes together, students will be completing a two day chicken stir fry lab. Last week we had a review lesson on chicken safety and the importance of all four food safety principles; clean, separate, cook, chill. Student duotangs with recipes, class work and a self-reflection will be sent home with students to share with their adults.
Thank you all for a great quarter, I wish you all a safe and restful summer! As we move into one of our final weeks of exploratory classes, we will be cooking twice. Students are making lemon butter scones after watching a demo on Friday to go over the tricky components of this recipe. On Thursday we are making fettuccine alfredo with homemade garlic bread made with roasted garlic. This is a new lab for grade 8s and I'm confident they will enjoy making it. On Friday we will be reviewing important safety skills for working with chicken in preparation of our final lab next week, chicken stir fry.
There is a course reflection being completed this week, it will be sent home at the end of the course with student duotangs full of the lessons and recipes from the 9-week course. On Tuesday there will be a cross-contamination lesson to review important food safety principles in preparation for the taco salad lab next week. The lab this week is taco salad with a focus on prep work and food safety. Friday there will be a demo on how to make lemon scones.
