Cooking Up Some Fun
We are so excited to share our last Lit Tip of 2020! We have been cooking and baking a lot more in our homes since #COVID hit and have found it therapeutic while also engaging our kiddos in hands-on activities to ease the craziness of being at home. Cooking is an amazing way to get all of our kiddos’ sense involved in their literacy development, with the added bonus of being able to munch and enjoy the deliciousness you made together.
Studies show that we retain 75% of what we DO and only 5% of what we HEAR. Through experiential learning like cooking, our kiddos develop better comprehension skills and are equipped with life skills when exposed to a real-life learning experience. So let’s put our aprons on and hop in the kitchen!
